The White House on Monday expressed its disappointment over the Israeli Knesset's passage of the so-called judicial reforms, calling on the Israeli government to adhere to the necessity of (Israeli) consensus on issues that "affect democracy."

And the White House issued a statement saying: “As an enduring friend of Israel, US President Joe Biden has publicly and privately expressed his views that major changes in democracy that must be sustained should depend on as broad a consensus as possible.”

"It is unfortunate that (to see) the vote (which) took place today with a narrow majority, and we understand that the talks are ongoing and are likely to continue over the coming weeks and months to reach a broader compromise even with the Knesset recess," the statement added, in an unusual tone.

The White House pledged, according to the statement: "The United States will continue to support the efforts of President Herzog and other Israeli leaders as they seek to build a broader consensus through political dialogue."

On Monday, the Israeli Knesset approved the draft amendments to the controversial so-called "reasonableness" law, which relates to judicial amendments.

According to the Israeli Knesset Channel, 64 members of the government coalition voted in favor of the project, while no one objected or abstained after the opposition members withdrew from the hall, after all attempts by Israeli President Isaac Herzog failed, since Sunday evening, to bridge views and postpone the vote or reach a compromise that would allow for negotiations at a later time.

According to experts, the amendments to the law will allow any government to ignore any decisions of the Israeli judiciary, whose decisions will not obligate the government to cancel any decision taken by it.

It is noteworthy that the American “CNN” network said that US President Joe Biden is very disappointed with the Knesset’s proceeding to approve fundamental changes in the Israeli Supreme Court, and stated that he sent a message about that, through the American journalist in the newspaper “The New York Times”, Thomas Friedman, to the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu.

The network claimed that Biden warned in his message of the repercussions of the decision, and of the decline in the bilateral relationship to low levels, indicating that he prefers continued consultations between the various Israeli forces in order to reach a broad consensus among them on it.

Friedman had published an article on Sunday under the title "Only Biden can save Israel now," in which he called on the US president to build a bridge "urgently to save Israel from destruction from within," recalling former US President Richard Nixon, who ordered an air bridge to support the occupation with ammunition, after the Israeli army's ammunition ran low in the October 1973 war, when the Egyptian and Syrian armies launched a surprise attack on the occupying entity.

"Israel, 55 years after the Nixon Bridge, needs another airlift to save it. It needs an urgent resupply of hard realities," Friedman emphasized.
