Ron Dermer, Israel's strategic affairs minister, takes issue with criticism of the country's judicial reforms. As protests continue, minister gives Netanyahu government's take on the overhaul.
Israel's former ambassador to the US and now minister of strategic affairs responds to US and international criticism to country's judicial reforms.In an interview with Fox News Digital, Israel’s minister of strategic affairs, Ron Dermer, candidly discusses the criticism of the Biden administration and other nations in the Jewish state’s efforts to reform its judiciary.
Dermer continued about the alleged meddling in domestic Israeli politics:"I don't want to interfere in your politics just like we don't want you to interfere in ours. What the prime minister has said is, he has a rule that he doesn't get involved in the internal workings of other democracies. When you're a leader of a country, you see all sorts of things that happen all around the world.
The State Department spokesperson added,"We will continue to engage our Israeli counterparts to strengthen the special bond between the United States and Israel and advance our shared democratic values, cooperating on a full range of issues while working through our differences and concerns like most other relationships."
Dermer laid out in laymen's terms how and why reform is needed."We had a good balance of power between the different branches of government for almost the first half century of the state. In the mid-90s, the courts started aggregating to itself more and more powers. And what you've seen in the last six or seven months after the last election is an attempt to restore this balance and to reduce judicial activism and by most criteria and standards.
