Israelis will vote on March 17 for a new government. Join one of Israel’s leading news chroniclers to explore deeper trends at play, including attempts to roll back democratic freedoms and incitement against the Palestinian-Israeli minority. 

How might social justice and democracy issues unfold? Will Israel advance a shared society for Jews and non-Jews and restrict the ultra-Orthodox rabbinate’s control? Will we see an improvement in civil rights and social justice for all Israelis? What about human rights for Palestinians over the Green Line and African Refugees?
