Biden advises Netanyahu to postpone judicial reform bill vote

President Joe Biden has advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to slow down on a judicial overhaul package that has sparked massive protests in Israel. Biden expressed concern that the proposed reforms are becoming more divisive and urged Israeli leaders to focus on finding consensus and pulling people together. Netanyahu and his allies plan to proceed with a vote on part of the package, despite the ongoing protests and Netanyahu's hospitalization. The proposed changes would limit the independence of the top court and potentially undermine democratic safeguards, leading to opposition from critics who argue that it is an attack on the country's democracy.
