Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects proposal from Israeli President Isaac Herzog designed to calm protests
Israeli President Isaac Herzog unveiled alternative changes to the judiciary on Wednesday in response to a planned overhaul by Israel’s far-right coalition that has triggered mass protests in recent weeks, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the new proposal.
One major point of contention in the planned overhaul is an amendment to the way in which judges are selected. The president warned on Wednesday that Israel was at a turning point and stressed he’d been involved in mediation efforts and speaking with “thousands of people” for weeks. The Israeli president, whose role is largely ceremonial, has been conducting talks in recent weeks in an attempt to broker a compromise between members of the coalition and those who oppose the judicial changes but has not confirmed that he has support for the plan from legislators.
