Guest: Patrick Kingsley (https://www.nytimes.com/by/patrick-kingsley?smid=pc-thedaily), the Jerusalem bureau chief for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Protesters restricted road access (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/09/world/middleeast/israel-judicial-protests-netanyahu.html) to Israel’s main airport hours before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to Italy.
