Those are turbulent times in Israel, with recent events casting a glaring spotlight on the country's judiciary system.

#332 - Israel's Justice Ministry: An Insider's Perspective (Emi Palmor)

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploration into one key issue shaping Israel and the Jewish World — right now. This episode is being published during a uniquely Israeli window of time that occurs between Yom Hashoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day — and Yom Hazikaron — our Memorial Day for fallen soldiers. This is a liminal space naturally inhabited by our What Matters Now guest this week, former director general of the Justice Ministry Emi Palmor. A specialist in international human rights and government policy, she is the daughter of Holocaust survivors and — when not lecturing at law schools and leadership programs, or concentrating on her part-time work on the Facebook Oversight Board — she is also the volunteer head of Natal, an apolitical nonprofit organization that specializes in the field of war and terror-related trauma. This week, headlines were again made about looming judicial overhaul legislation, this time, regarding a potential legal counsel bill that would make ministry legal advisors a discretionary role in ministries. As she is a 24-year veteran of the Justice Ministry, six of which she spent as its director general under several ministers from different parties, we, ask Emi Palmor, What Matters Now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on iTunes, TuneIn, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, PlayerFM or wherever you get your podcasts.
