Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett discusses the recent violence in Israel, the proposed judicial reforms, and the shifting views of Americans towards Israel and Palestine. He asserts that democracy has prevailed in Israel and that the reforms will only progress with agreement from both sides.
