Biden Calls on Israel Prime Minister Not to Advance Vote on Israel’s Judicial Reform Bill

President Biden called on Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to not advance a vote on the country’s controversial judicial reform bill, according to a statement by the president given to Axios.

“Given the range of threats and challenges confronting Israel right now, it doesn’t make sense for Israeli leaders to rush this — the focus should be on pulling people together and finding consensus,” Biden said.

Biden added that “it looks like the current judicial reform proposal is becoming more divisive, not less,” according to the outlet. The statement comes on the heels of Biden inviting Netanyahu, who has been in the role for seven months, to Washington, D.C. after the two leaders talked on the phone together last week.
