The White House is urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to compromise on a plan to overhaul his nation's judicial system amid widespread protests.
after Mr. Netanyahu ousted his defense minister for opposing a plan to restructure the nation’s judiciary. Chanting the “country is on fire,” the protesters closed major highways.
Support for the protesters has come from higher education officials, who have shuttered the nation’s universities in solidarity, and’s largest labor trade union group. The latter, which represents 800,000 workers, announced a nationwide general strike beginning Monday that is likely to impact every sector of the Israeli economy.
The proposal would give the Israeli parliament a greater say over Supreme Court appointments. It also would allow the parliament to overturn Supreme Court decisions.
