Israel's 75th birthday overshadowed by deep divisions.

As Israel turns 75, it faces perhaps its gravest existential threat yet - not from foreign enemies but from divisions within. For over three months, tens of thousands of people have rallied in the streets against what they see as an assault by an ultranationalist, religious government threatening a national identity rooted in liberal traditions. The divisions have filtered down to workplaces, friendships, and families. Despite political differences, many Israelis are still celebrating Independence Day.
