Thompson Seminar Room, Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics, 124 Mount Auburn Street, Suite 520N In the aftermath of a series of political crises in Israel, marked by five consecutive elections within four years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu successfully established a government in November 2022. This government, considered the most far-right in Israel's history, promptly launched a campaign for regime change, masquerading under the banner of a "legal reform." The main goal of this reform was to both capture and diminish the authority of the Supreme Court and undermine the already fragile system of checks and balances, thus posing a significant threat to Israel's democracy. These governmental efforts were met with widespread protests that managed to thwart them, at least temporarily, yet simultaneously exacerbated the social divisions that fracture Israeli society. The lecture will delve into the various components of the government's initiatives and the opposition they encountered, while also outlining a path forward for Israeli democratic governance. https://buff.ly/4aS8Wj6
