Israeli-Arab media star says Israel’s democracy in danger

On Israel with Ben Caspit, an Al-Monitor podcast

Ben Caspit talks this week with Israeli-Arab journalist Lucy Aharish. The media celebrity warns that Israel’s democracy and freedom of speech are shaky and even endangered. She says that with only a small number of media outlets, social media has become more powerful and louder in Israel than anywhere else on the globe. On the other hand, she says, every Israeli journalist knows that over criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would cost him or her their jobs — and she has already been in that spot herself.
