Tensions rise between Biden and Netanyahu over Israel's legal overhaul.

TL;DR Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected President Joe Biden's suggestion to walk away from a controversial plan to overhaul the legal system, saying Israel makes its own decisions. The exchange signals building friction between the two close allies over Netanyahu's judicial changes, which he postponed after massive protests. The plan would give Netanyahu and his allies the final say in appointing the nation's judges and limit the court's ability to review laws. Critics say the legislation would concentrate power in the hands of the coalition in parliament and upset the balance of checks and balances between branches of government.
