US President Joe Biden speaks with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to express 'concern' over his government’s planned overhaul of the country’s judicial system
US President Joe Biden has spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to express "concern” over his government’s planned overhaul of the country’s judicial system which has sparked widespread protests across Israel and to encourage compromise.
There was no immediate indication that Netanyahu was shying away from the action after rejecting a compromise offered by the country’s figurehead president last week. The White House in a statement added that Biden “underscored his belief that democratic values have always been, and must remain, a hallmark of the US-Israel relationship, that democratic societies are strengthened by genuine checks and balances, and that fundamental changes should be pursued with the broadest possible base of popular support.”
Netanyahu said on Sunday the legal changes would be carried out responsibly while protecting the basic rights of all Israelis.
