Judiciary: 'Protestors defending Israeli democracy' against PM who faces serious corruption charges
FRANCE24, 25 Mar 2023
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stressed the importance of upholding democratic values when he received Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu for talks on Friday, referring to a move to overhaul Israel's judiciary that has stirred mass protests. Netanyahu has faced weeks of uproar over his religious-nationalist coalition's pursuit of dramatic changes to the judiciary that would give the government sway in choosing judges and limit the Supreme Court's power to strike down laws. For more on the controversial judicial overhaul and the ensuing protests, FRANCE 24 is joined by Yossi Mekelberg, Professor of International Relations at Webster University and Associate Fellow of the MENA Program at Chatham House.
