US and Israeli leaders clash over judicial overhaul plan.

Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have engaged in a rare public clash with the United States after President Joe Biden criticized their contentious judicial overhaul plan. Biden warned that Israel “cannot continue down this road” and suggested that Netanyahu should "walk away" from his proposal to weaken the country’s Supreme Court. Netanyahu and his allies responded defiantly, asserting that Israel would make its own decisions. Opposition leaders seized on the open feud as a sign that the now-paused reforms threatened the country's crucial friendship with the U.S.
