Hagai M. Segal
Democratic Crisis? The U.S. and Israel at Historic Crossroads
How to watch
Summary
Both the U.S. and Israel are currently embroiled in unprecedented domestic political change, with their elected leaders arguing for the urgent need for action and their opponents accusing them of unnecessarily putting the stability of their democracies at risk. The processes in both countries are not just comparable, but are playing out in tandem and with vital connections. Join Hagai as he explores and explains the latest dynamics.
