TL;DR Summary

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized the importance of upholding democratic values during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, referring to the proposed overhaul of Israel's judiciary that has sparked mass protests. Netanyahu has faced weeks of uproar over the religious-nationalist coalition's pursuit of changes to the judiciary that would give the government sway in choosing judges and limit the Supreme Court's power to strike down laws. Hundreds of protesters greeted Netanyahu in London, holding up Israeli flags and shouting chants against him. The two leaders also discussed strengthening the relationship between Britain and Israel, and the security and defence challenges they share, including the threat posed by Iran.
