Five in Ten 3/29/23: No, Israel is Not in a Civil War

Yes, judicial reform is a political football in Israel right now. That said, we’ve been in the heart of Jerusalem and traveling extensively through Judea and Samaria (what the world calls “the West Bank”) for the past week. The biggest impact we’ve felt is a ten-minute delay getting back to our hotel Monday afternoon.
