UK Cheers Netanyahu’s Judicial Reform U-Turn
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has praised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to hit pause on Israel’s controversial judiciary reforms.
Historic Ties and Democratic Values at Stake
Cleverly said:
“The UK welcomes the decision today by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pause legislation to reform Israel’s judiciary.
The UK enjoys a deep and historic relationship with Israel. As our Prime Minister stressed in his recent meeting with PM Netanyahu, it is vital that the shared democratic values that underpin that relationship are upheld, and a robust system of checks and balances are preserved.”
Call for Calm and Compromise
He added: “We urge all parties to find common ground and seek a long-term compromise to this sensitive issue.”
