Munk Dialogue with Vivian Bercovici
Munk Dialogue with Vivian Bercovici
Israel in Crisis.
Israel is facing its biggest internal confrontation since its founding in 1948. Army reservists are refusing to be called in to serve. Former Mossad chiefs are denouncing the government. Hundreds of thousands of protesters are taking to the streets. And businesses are fleeing the country en masse. What precipitated this conflict?
What’s at stake? And can Israel remain a liberal democracy under Benjamin Netanyahu’s extremist coalition and the reforms they are hoping to pass? Vivian Bercovici is the former Canadian ambassador to Israel, and the founder of State of Tel Aviv, a weekly newsletter and podcast focusing on Israel and the Middle East. She joins us from Tel Aviv for a far reaching conversation about how competing visions over Israel’s future could threaten its very existence.
“This isn’t just about judicial reform. This is about decades of social and political mismanagement that’s been festering and building and is now coming home to roost””
