President Zelenskyy

Into the Streets
In another captivating segment, veteran journalist Lesley Stahl takes us to Israel.

These rallies are in response to a controversial plan by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to weaken Israel’s Supreme Court.
The group argues that these measures could pave the way to autocracy and have already triggered one of the most significant domestic crises in the nation’s history. Shachar Bar-On, the producer, ensures we get an up-close and personal look at these brave individuals fighting for their vision of justice.
