The Biden administration considers it "unfortunate" that the Israeli parliament ratified part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's contested judicial overhaul plan on Monday, a White House National Security Council spokesperson said.
'We believe that for major democratic changes you need to work for consensus," the U.S. official said. "We urge Israeli leaders to work toward a consensus-based approach through political dialogue."
