Israel's system of checks and balances is weak. With only one house of parliament, no presidential veto, and no regional or international governance structure. IDI VP of Research Prof. Suzie Navot explains on the Tel Aviv Review Podcast why the judiciary is so important in Israel's democracy—now more than ever, as efforts continue to weaken Israel's system of checks and balances. | IDI - Israel Democracy Institute
