Netanyahu Rebuffs Biden's Advice, Will Continue Judicial Reform Negotiations

JERUSALEM, Israel – President Joe Biden weighed in on the judicial reform debate within Israel and asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the legislation, putting a strain on U.S.-Israel relations.

At an airport press event Tuesday, reporters asked President Biden about the health of democracy in Israel.

Biden replied, "Like many strong supporters of Israel, I'm very concerned and I'm concerned that they get this straight. They cannot continue down this road. And I've sort of made that clear. I hope for, hopefully, the Prime Minister will act in a way that he can try to work out some genuine compromise. But that remains to be seen.”

The president added he had no intention of inviting Netanyahu to the White House anytime soon. Later, he told a Reuters reporter he hopes Netanyahu walks away from judicial reform.

Biden can't even sort out his own mess.

[glendamitchell]

I am concerned our country is a disaster!! He shouldn't give anyone advice at all he is a complete failure as our President

The ultimate decision belongs to Almighty God, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen ✝️🇺🇸🇮🇱

Sleepy Grampa Joe needs to take care of our country and mind his own business. Shessh

Sippycup was talking the high points of ice cream.

Netanyahu is worth 100, at least, of Biden’s thought processes. Netanyahu, I’m sure, can think clearly enough to be able to mind his own business. Biden, on the other hand, desperately needs someone to mind his business.

[angelinegrows]

This joke if a president should mind his own business

[tomscience]

President Netanyahu, We true Americans are fully behind you 100%. God bless Israel.

[wendymartin]

Who Blesses Israel the Lord God will Bless, who stands against Israel shall be cursed. ❤️ 🙏😢

[denisebudde]

He is an embarrassment!!!! God help us!

[pedroviaud]

Best friends have the right to express freely what they think without being offended, it’s impossible to agree in everything, pray for Israel, for America and for Russia and Ukraine……and if possible for every nation

[pamelariley]

Israel, do you. We don't listen to this Biden thing.

[markwulfers]

Brandon should be more worried about what he's doing!

[tinatimthompson]

Well, there are Isreals best friends turning their backs on them... another scripture comes to pass!!😢 😢 😢

[michaelsteven]

I pray, God our Father and Saviour,
showers Mercy upon the entire world
and enlightens its people with universal brotherhood, filled with peace, harmony and social integrity !🙏🏼✝️❤️

[lolawalsh]

To turn its back on Christian supporters....😢

[rebeccarush]

I pray the peace of Jerusalem. God help America & Americans to bless Israel as Gods Word for us to do. Otherwise America will be cursed.

[mikaalthea]

THE GOD OF ISRAEL IS THE ONLY RELIABLE ALLY AND STRONGHOLD OF ISRAEL.
