The Netanyahu Effect: Israel's Democracy and Right-Wing Transformation.

Protests have been ongoing in Israel for 12 weeks, with thousands of people taking to the streets to demand that Benjamin Netanyahu's government abandon its attempt to "reform" the Israeli judiciary. This week, unions ordered a general strike, which shuttered businesses all around Israel. Netanyahu announced on live television that he was delaying the judicial reform, but protesters are still wary and concerned about the future of democracy in Israel. The reforms have been brewing for over a decade, and for Netanyahu's party, getting them done has become their first priority.
