Why Bibi and his Haredi cronies won’t allow a meaningful probe into Israel’s deadly stampede
Host Simon Spungin is joined by Haaretz’s Anshel Pfeffer and ultra-Orthodox journalist and activist Pnina Pfeuffer to discuss the aftermath of the Mount Meron tragedy, in which 45 people were crushed to death at a Jewish festival. We ask: Will Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu establish a commission of inquiry to investigate the incident? Will ultra-Orthodox Israelis respond to this disaster with anger – and in which direction? And could this tragedy be the catalyst for a change in the often fraught coexistence between secular and Haredi Israelis?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
