It is a common refrain in U.S. President Joe Biden’s speeches and statements and at State Department press briefings that Israel is threatening its democratic character by seeking to reform its judiciary, which legal experts have called a bad -faith argument. The president and his administration talk much less about differences between the White House and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Long before Israeli judicial reform, tensions were high between former President and Author Barack Obama and Netanyahu over the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, more commonly referred to as the Iran deal.
