U.S. President Joe Biden has expressed his support for a compromise between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his opponents over a controversial judicial overhaul. During a phone call on Sunday, Biden told Netanyahu that the democratic values of the United States and Israel were a hallmark of their relationship. Netanyahu reportedly assured Biden that Israel's democracy was healthy. The judicial overhaul has been a major point of contention between Netanyahu and his opponents since he was reelected late last year to lead one of the most right-wing coalitions in Israel's history. Netanyahu has been pushing for changes to the country's judicial system, including the appointment of more conservative judges and the introduction of a new system for selecting Supreme Court justices. Opponents of the plan have argued that it would undermine the independence of the judiciary and weaken the rule of law in Israel. They have called on Netanyahu to find a compromise that would preserve the independence of the judiciary. Biden's support for a compromise is seen as a positive sign for both sides, as it could help to break the deadlock and allow the two sides to reach an agreement. It is unclear, however, if Netanyahu and his opponents will be able to reach a consensus.
