Netanyahu faces pressure amid US praise and Israeli protests.
The White House has praised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comments in response to concerns from US President Joe Biden regarding the judicial overhaul being advanced by the Israeli government. The remarks by White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby appeared to represent an attempt by the Biden administration to lower the temperature after tensions between the US and Israel flared up a day earlier. Biden had expressed concern about the health of Israeli democracy and urged Netanyahu to work out a genuine compromise. Netanyahu responded by saying he appreciates Biden’s friendship and longstanding commitment to Israel and stressed that the US-Israel alliance is “unbreakable” and can overcome disagreements.
