Israel’s deep state: Bureaucracy vs. Democracy explained (w/Dr. Ran Baratz) | Basic Law

Is Israeli democracy truly at the brink or are media-fueled doomsday warnings premature? On this episode of “Basic Law,” Aylana Meisel, Executive Director of the Israel Law and Liberty Forum, sits down with Dr. Ran Baratz, political scientist and former senior government official, to cut through the chaos and explain what’s really happening inside Israel’s legal, political and security institutions. 🎯 In this episode: The growing clash between Israel’s elected officials and its entrenched bureaucracy How Israel’s security services gained unprecedented independence from political oversight The unique Israeli definitions of terms like “rule of law” and “judicial independence” The origins of Israel’s judicial revolution and how it shaped a new political culture Whether fears of a looming Israeli civil war are justified or just political theater They also discuss the long-term solutions needed to restore checks and balances, including the possibility of creating a constitutional court to supervise the judiciary itself. If you want to understand the deeper forces at play in Israeli democracy and what must happen to secure Israel’s future, this is a must-watch conversation.
