Biden administration calls on the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu to slow down the pace of implementation of the government plan to change the judicial system. The Israeli channel 7 reports that the ambassador of the United States to Israel Thomas Nayds announced in an interview with David Axelrod, a former adviser to the US president.
Nayds said that the only thing that Israel and the USA connects is the democratic views of the two countries, and that is why the United States defend Israel into the UN. He emphasized that if the United States feel that the democratic institutions of Israel are under pressure, they will say something.
The diplomat explained that the United States is asking Prime Minister Israel to slow down and try to come to an agreement between the parties: “We say to the prime minister what I tell your children-click on the brakes, slow down, try to come to the consensus. They have taken up. For a very difficult question and promote it too quickly. ” Nayds noted that “fifty, perhaps sixty percent of” Israeli citizens, American Jews and Israeli President Yitzhak Duke, demand this from the government.
The US Ambassador said that the Netanyahu government has “big plans” that the United States supported the common goal of expanding the “Abraham Agreement” and concluded: “We say Netanyahu that we will not be able to help him in major things when he has a fire In the backyard “.
At the same time, Nayds insists that the United States is not going to tell Israel how its judicial system should look, but right now they are causing great damage.
Israeli media notes that on Saturday night, Nayds’s words became the main news of local television channels. The words of the ambassador are regarded as “unprecedented intervention in the internal affairs of Israel.”
