Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Sunday evening with US President Joe Biden and updated him on the terrorist attack that took place earlier in the day in Huwara, in which an Israeli citizen was wounded.
The Prime Minister told President Biden that Israel would continue to take action everywhere against terrorists and the architects of terrorism.
The conversation focused on the Iranian threat and expanding the circle of peace.
Regarding the judicial reform, Prime Minister Netanyahu told President Biden that Israel was, and will remain, a strong and vibrant democracy.
Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked President Biden for his commitment to Israel’s security.
Biden recently weighed in on the judicial reforms being promoted in Israel, telling Thomas Friedman of The New York Times, “The genius of American democracy and Israeli democracy is that they are both built on strong institutions, on checks and balances, on an independent judiciary.”
“Building consensus for fundamental changes is really important to ensure that the people buy into them so they can be sustained,” the President added.
Vice President Kamala Harris later commented on the judicial reform as well, telling Politico, “As the president has said, an independent judiciary is foundational for a democracy. And I think that there is no question that we need to make sure that that is supported in terms of what we talk about [and] in terms of our values.”

US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides, meanwhile, recently called on Israeli leaders to “pump the brakes” on the judicial reform.
On the Republican side, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told Axios in an interview that the Israeli government”s judicial reform is an internal Israeli matter and the US should not intervene.
