JERUSALEM: Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said efforts to reach consensus on a judicial overhaul bill were ongoing ahead of its expected approval by parliament next week after the law sparked protests and outrage at home and abroad.
“Even in these moments… efforts are being made to achieve consensus,” Netanyahu said in an address to the press. Proponents of the legislation say it would restore balance to the branches of government while those against say it removes vital checks and balances. “Israel will continue to be a democratic country, will continue to be a liberal country,” Netanyahu said. “It will protect everyone’s individual rights but when I say everyone these rights really must be equal for everyone.”
