 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday brushed aside President Biden’s last-minute plea and oversaw the passage of a major judicial reform law that limits the ability of the country’s courts to strike down government decisions.

“Given the range of threats and challenges confronting Israel right now, it doesn’t make sense for Israeli leaders to rush this — the focus should be on pulling people together and finding consensus,” Biden insisted Sunday.
