The Repercussions of Rejecting Reasonableness

On this Israel Policy Briefing, Neri Zilber (Israel Policy Forum) and Masua Sagiv (Shalom Hartman Institute, U.C. Berkeley) unpacked the repercussions of the law barring the Supreme Court from using the reasonableness standard to review government decisions and appointments. They discussed what this development means for the judicial overhaul and the pro-democracy protest movement, its implications for the various players in Israeli politics, its impact on Israel’s security and relations with the U.S., and how it will affect Israeli democracy.
