The fate of Israel’s legal reform effort will have global implications

“The Caroline Glick Show” featuring a special conversation with Lord Conrad Black, Ep. 43

International reporting of the Netanyahu government’s judicial reform package has largely followed the Israeli media’s coverage. And since the Israeli media is leading the campaign to prevent the government from advancing its efforts, rather than provide honest coverage of the events, international audiences are confused about what is being debated.

Last week, I sat down with historian Lord Conrad Black in Toronto to discuss the nature of the reforms.

So the success or failure of the government’s reform package will have implications for free societies across the world.
