New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman published new details on the conversation between President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week.
According to Friedman, Biden’s message was that Netanyahu should not rush to promote his government’s judicial reform.
“Biden is now deeply worried for the stability and future of Israel, America’s most important Middle East ally and a country for which he wears his affection on his sleeve. His message to the Israeli prime minister and president could not have been clearer: Please stop now. Don’t pass anything this important without a broad consensus, or you are going to break something with Israel’s democracy and with your relationship with America’s democracy, and you may never be able to get it back,” wrote Friedman.
