In Part 2 of our conversation with legal scholar Eugene Kontorovich, we turn to one of the most polarizing issues in Israeli politics today: judicial reform. Before October 7th, it dominated headlines and sparked massive protests across the country. But what exactly is Israel’s judicial reform debate about? Why does the Israeli Supreme Court hold so much power—arguably more than any court in the world? And how did this legal battle become a national crisis? With deep insight into the inner workings of Israeli law and its global implications, Kontorovich breaks down what’s really at stake—for Israel’s democracy, its governance, and its future.
