Biden Issues Warning to Netanyahu Over Controversial Judicial Reforms in Israel

According to an article in The New York Times, President Joe Biden has urged Israeli authorities to halt the implementation of judicial reform laws. He also cautioned that if they persist with these reforms, it could lead to irreparable harm to Israel's relations with the United States.

Following their meeting at the White House on Tuesday, President Biden and Israeli President Isaac Herzog discussed the importance of a collaborative approach to the ongoing judicial reform. The White House emphasized the strong bond between the two countries, built on shared democratic values.

According to reports, President Biden has expressed criticism towards the Netanyahu government's contentious judicial reform plan, which has sparked widespread protests in Israel. However, Israel's National Security Adviser Tzachi Hangbi stated in an interview with Haaretz that Benjamin Netanyahu informed Mr. Herzog that the law would be finalized this week.
