Tensions between U.S. and Israel escalate over reforms and criticism.

Tensions between the United States and Israel have risen as President Joe Biden expressed concern over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul, which has sparked widespread protests in Israel. Netanyahu postponed the effort to change how judges are appointed to the Supreme Court for at least a month, but tensions remain high. A senior Israeli official accused the U.S. of inappropriately intervening in Israel's internal affairs, while the White House emphasized the long, friendly relations between the two countries. The situation poses diplomatic and political challenges for both leaders.
