Israel's Prime Minister Calls for Reaching Consensus on Judicial Reform

(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday: "We are not giving up on the chance of reaching broad agreement....Already in the coming days, the coalition will turn to the opposition in order to advance a dialogue between us. We are prepared to discuss everything, immediately, and...reach a comprehensive agreement on everything." "We have consensus. We all agree that Israel needs to remain a strong democracy, that it will continue to safeguard individual rights for all, that it will not become a state governed by Jewish religious law, that the court will continue to be independent and that no side will control it." "The IDF must remain outside any political controversy. We all know that the IDF relies on dedicated reservists who love this country. Calls for refusal to serve harm the security of every citizen of the state." "A last word to our enemies: I know that you do not know what democracy is. Do not misunderstand this debate we are having. As always, we will stand shoulder-to-shoulder and together repel any threat to our dear country."
