The move followed\u00a0mass street protests, international criticism, and a direct appeal from U.S. President Joe Biden. Around half a million Israelis have taken part in protests over the past two months,\u00a0arguing\u00a0the changes would give the parliament too much power over the courts. Netanyahu&#8217;s new concession would retain less of his original proposal&#8217;s\u00a0system regarding\u00a0the selection of new judges. However, other parts of the bill still set for ratification in the coming weeks are still causing concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<figure class=\"Figure mb-1 mb-sm-3 mb-md-1 article-lead-photo data_invisible\" data-align=\"center\" data-image-size=\"fixed\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n<div class=\"Figure-container\">\n                    <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"767\" height=\"443\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" width=\"767\" height=\"443\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"645\" height=\"372\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" width=\"645\" height=\"372\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"1060\" height=\"612\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><source width=\"1060\" height=\"612\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\" itemprop=\"caption\">Demonstrators protest against plans by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s government to overhaul the Israel&#8217;s judicial system in Tel Aviv, Israel.<\/figcaption><div class=\"Figure-credit\" itemprop=\"author\">Ohad Zwigenberg\/AP<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The proposed changes would allow Israel&#8217;s parliament, the Knesset, to overturn Supreme Court decisions with a simple voting majority. Supporters say the reforms are necessary to address perceived bias in favor of Israel&#8217;s leftist elites, while critics argue they would weaken the judiciary&#8217;s ability to act as a check and balance on other branches of government. Netanyahu, who was sworn in for a sixth term in January, leads a hard-right Cabinet committed to expanding settlements in the West Bank and promoting a raft of partisan priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Opposition leaders have dismissed Netanyahu&#8217;s latest concession as inadequate and have promised to continue fighting his proposals.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the governing coalition called on opponents to use the month-long recess to negotiate over the bill&#8217;s contents. Last weekend, Biden phoned Netanyahu to express &#8220;concern&#8221; about the plan. The White House said Biden underscored his belief in &#8220;genuine checks and balances&#8221; and that &#8220;fundamental changes should be pursued with the broadest possible base of popular support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8216;Read More From<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign\/israel-netanyahu-concession-judicial-overhaul-effort\">&#8220;Israel&#8217;s Netanyahu makes first concession in controversial judicial overhaul effort&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s government said on Monday that it would alter a key part of its plan to overhaul the country&#8217;s judicial system following mass street protests, international criticism, and a direct appeal from U.S. President Joe Biden.
