Basic Law with host Aylana Meisel
Israel is navigating a profound internal paradox that could reshape the future of the Jewish state forever. In this episode of Basic Law, host Aylana Meisel-Diament explores a nation caught between absolute unity and unprecedented political turmoil.

As Israel proves it can unite against external threats, Basic Law asks: Can it survive the internal legal battles that threaten to paralyze its own leadership?
