What happened

A Friday-night panel hosted by Yishai Cohen reviewed a tense week in Haredi politics, centered on the preliminary approval of the Basic Law on Torah Study and the daycare law. The discussion also covered the Jerusalem Faction protests, arrests of yeshiva students, and the growing clash with Minister Bezalel Smotrich. The panel asked whether the legislation can survive legal scrutiny and whether the protests are actually changing police policy.
