Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday rebuffed US President Joe Biden's suggestion that the premier "walks away" from a contentious plan to overhaul the legal system, saying the country makes its own decisions.
The exchange was a rare bout of public disagreement between the two close allies and signals building friction between Israel and the US over Netanyahu's judicial changes, which he postponed after massive protests.
Asked by reporters what he hopes the premier does with the legislation, Biden replied, "I hope he walks away from it." The president added that Netanyahu's government "cannot continue down this road" and urged compromise on the plan roiling Israel. Biden also stepped around US Ambassador Thomas Nides' suggestion that Netanyahu would soon be invited to the White House, saying, "No, not in the near term."
