Netanyahu's reaction to Biden's 'judiciary reform'

He objected to US President Joe Biden's remarks that he was "very concerned and Israel cannot continue on this path" over the judicial regulation that led to mass protests and strikes in Israel. In a series of posts on his Twitter account, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, while expressing that he "knew Biden for over 40 years and appreciated his commitment to Israel", reminded that his country is "a sovereign country".

'WE ALWAYS OVERCOME DISPUTES'

Emphasizing that the "unshakable" alliance between Israel and the United States "always overcomes the disagreements that arise from time to time" between the two countries, Netanyahu said:

"My administration is determined to strengthen democracy by restoring the proper balance between the three powers of state, which we are trying to achieve by broad consensus.

"Israel is a sovereign country that makes its decisions based on the will of its people, not outside pressure, including its best friends."
