Biden and Netanyahu clash over Israel's judicial reforms.
TL;DR Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to overhaul the judiciary has put a damper on President Joe Biden's "Summit for Democracy." Biden and his aides opposed the judicial overhaul, but Netanyahu released a defiant statement indicating he would press ahead with some form of judicial change. The fear inside the White House is that the Netanyahu-led far-right coalition now governing the once-stable democracy in the Middle East has authoritarian leanings. The turmoil in Israel has given Biden a foreign policy headache right in the run-up to the 2024 presidential race.
