2023 in Review: What’s behind Israel’s ‘judicial coup’?

As the year wraps up, we're looking back at ten of the episodes that defined our year at The Take. This originally aired on July 28. Israel’s ruling coalition has pushed through the first part of their controversial judicial overhaul plan, despite months of protests. It was a major victory for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while critics are calling the move a judicial coup. Members of the opposition walked out of the vote, and protestors took to the streets again this week. The question now is, how far will the judicial overhaul go?
