The White House has expressed concern over the legislation, encouraging Israel to use a 'consensus-based approach' toward judicial reforms.
Israel's Knesset on Monday passed a controversial bill that overhauls the country's judicial oversight, giving more power to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and allies.
The White House said that President Joe Biden expressed his opinion to Netanyahu about the bill in a call last week. “Never in the state's history has there been such a display of complete abdication of responsibility," he said."The reality is that you are letting the country fall apart. The coalition wants to legislate a rift in the people — belligerent and violent legislation that will inflict critical harm upon the Supreme Court, Israeli society, security, the economy, and our unity as a people.
