Israel's ultra-Orthodox parties feel the ground shaking under their feet

View descriptionShare

Violence broke out again last week at the Western Wall, as female activists gathered to pray at the holy Jewish site and were met with an ultra-Orthodox mob. Why is the battle over women's prayer there making headlines in Israel again, and how is it related to the ultra-Orthodox parties being out of power for the first time in a decade? Jewish World correspondent Judy Maltz discusses the latest developments with host Amir Tibon.

Also on this week's episode, Haaretz's U.S. correspondent, Ben Samuels, joins us from Washington with an update on the Biden administration's plans to reopen the American consulate in Jerusalem. After passing his landmark infrastructure package, does President Biden finally have time to pay attention to the Middle East? Listen to the full conversation.
