After a series of statements by US administration spokespeople criticizing the Israeli government's policy to carry out a coup against the judiciary, more and more US lawmakers are speaking up and warning that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is putting his interest above Israel's.
Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dick Durbin, said that as a long-time supporter of Israel, he is concerned that Netanyahu is "dangerously putting his own narrow political and legal interests – and those of the troubling extremists in his coalition – ahead of the long-term interests and needs of Israel's democracy."
