Biden's scolding confused Israel We are not just another star on the US flag

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu , who took a step back and ended the most chaotic day in Israel's political history for now, faced US leader Joe Biden this time .

The judiciary arrangement that Netanyahu's extreme right-wing coalition government, which he established months ago, tried to implement, has confused Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu fired his close ally, Defense Minister Yoav Galant, on Sunday evening, who spoke in a tone against the planned changes. Thereupon, dissidents took to the streets in all cities of Israel, and police and protesters clashed all night long.

By Monday morning, life in Israel stopped. Doctors, teachers and workers from all walks of life went on strike at the call of the country's largest union. While the airports were closed, activities in the ports were suspended.

On the one hand, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was under the pressure of the opposition who took to the streets again, on the other hand, was struggling with the threat of his radical coalition partners to leave the government.

Netanyahu, 73, had to announce on Monday evening that the judicial arrangement had been shelved. The new legislation, which has been protested for weeks, is about government power and the courts' power to oversee and even overrule the government.

If the regulation becomes law;

The Supreme Court's power to review or reject laws will be weakened by the fact that an absolute majority in Parliament can override court decisions.

The commission that appoints the judges will be entirely under the government's control

Legal counsel led by the attorney general will not be necessary for ministers to abide by their recommendations.

It will be more difficult to dismiss office holders deemed unsuitable for the post.

Opponents believe that the proposed legislative changes will seriously undermine democracy in the country by weakening the judicial system that has controlled government power in the past. It is also stated that Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption, is trying to protect himself.

Netanyahu, the head of the right-wing government in the history of Israel, states that the government comes to power through elections and argues that the regulations will provide a balance between the elected and the appointed.

BIDEN: I AM VERY CONCERNED :

Chaos in Israel echoed in Washington as well. US President Joe Biden asked Netanyahu to abandon the arrangement, he said, "They can't continue on this path."

Asked if he was worried about Israel's democratic future, Biden said: "Like many strong supporters of Israel, I am very concerned."

Biden expressed doubt about Netanyahu's efforts to reconcile the bill, which the Israeli opposition described as a "blow to the independence of the judiciary," and added that his aim is not to interfere in Israel's internal affairs.

Netanyahu responded to Biden's statements on his Twitter account:
