Biden Expresses Concern Over Israel's Judicial Changes in Call with Netanyahu.

During a call on Sunday, President Biden expressed concern to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the controversial judicial overhaul plan, which has caused political divisions and protests in Israel. Biden urged Netanyahu to reach a compromise and get a broad consensus on judicial reforms. The Biden administration has expressed concerns over what the plan will mean for Israel's democracy. Netanyahu told Biden that he is trying to solve the issue but needs time and space to do it. Most of the legislation that is part of the judicial plan would be postponed until after Passover, but the key element of the judicial plan — changing the process of appointing judges — will be brought to a final vote by the end of the Knesset session in the first week of April.
