Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen calls on Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez not to decide for the Israeli people. Sánchez transferred his support on behalf of the Socialist International to protests against the controversial judicial reform in Israel.
Reform is now stalled amid a consensus process organized by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the recommendation of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. The opposition fears that the parties that support Netanyahu's coalition, in particular the far right, will reopen the legislative process of the reform. The reform would grant the Government unusual powers over the action of the country's courts.
