Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ’s plan to overhaul his country’s justice system has stirred tensions with the U.S., with President Biden and congressional Democrats criticizing the proposal and Israeli lawmakers firing back that the legislation is an internal matter. Mr. Biden told reporters Tuesday that he was “very concerned” about a judicial overhaul in Israel that would grant the ruling coalition power to appoint more like-minded justices, allow the Israeli parliament to overrule the Supreme Court with a simple majority and sharply circumscribe judicial review. Mr. Netanyahu halted the legislation Monday after strikes rocked the country and dissent over the law inside Israel’s military escalated into a crisis.

Tens of thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets across the country over the past three months to demonstrate against a judicial overhaul planned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ’s government. The ruling coalition says the proposals are necessary to rein in activist judges, while critics counter the changes would deal a fatal blow to Israeli democracy. The proposals have divided the country, sparked concern from key allies such as the U.S., and caused scores of military reservists to say they will refuse to serve should the laws pass. Analysts warn the country could be headed for a constitutional crisis.
☆ Australia Reverses Recognition of West Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the final status of Jerusalem should be decided between Israel and the Palestinians through talks. Australia dropped its recognition of West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, sparking a diplomatic spat between the two U.S. allies over the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The decision by Australia’s center-left government, which came to power after an election in May, reverses a 2018 move by the previous center-right government to recognize West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Australia’s Embassy is still in Tel Aviv.
