You are cordially invited to attend “A Constituent Assembly for Israel: From Crisis to Opportunity” workshop on Situation in Israel presented by Professor Netta Barak- Corren, Director, Center for the Study of Multiculturalism and Diversity, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.
Together with Prof. Hanna Lerner, the Head of the School of Political Science, Government and International Affairs at Tel Aviv University, Prof. Barak-Corren propose a process aimed at reinvigorating Israeli democracy, one that could strengthen our political system, unite Israeli society, and renew confidence in our institutions. It would involve convening a Constituent Assembly, an elected body entrusted with a sole mission: to formulate, by broad consensus, the foundational principles and rules for Israeli democracy, and to lay groundwork for managing and resolving future disputes.
