Netanyahu to Meet with DeSantis During Israel Trip

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during his upcoming trip to Israel, where DeSantis will also deliver a keynote address at an event celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of Israel. The trip is part of an international trade mission that will also include stops in Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Netanyahu paused his attempt to pass legislation limiting the power of Israel's judiciary after backlash from the public and members of his own administration, but protests continue. President Joe Biden has expressed concern about Israeli democracy, but Netanyahu believes the judicial plans will not impede his relationship with the U.S.
