US Secretary of State Antony  Blinken met on Tuesday in Jerusalem with civil society activists at Feel Beit , the groundbreaking Israeli-Palestinian cultural center and arts incubator situated in Abu Tor, on the border between east and west Jerusalem. The meeting focused on current developments in Israeli society in the shadow of the protests against changes to the justice system. Blinken told his interlocutors that they are part of vibrant Israeli civil society, saying: Civil society is our north star.    The meeting was organized by the American embassy in Israel, and not by the Israeli Foreign Ministry.   KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with one of the participants, Daphne Goldshmidt, director of programming at ROPES, the Regional Organization for Peace, Economics and Security.  (Photo: Reuters)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
