Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly is pushing Israel to drop its planned reform of the country's judiciary after two months of mass protests.
Joly spoke by phone Thursday with her Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen. Ottawa's official readout of their conversation says that "Joly underscored Canada's support of democracy, the rule of law and the institutions that uphold them."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far rejected compromises aimed at resolving the standoff over his plans to overhaul the country's legal system by allowing the country's parliament to overturn Supreme Court decisions. The country's figurehead president, Isaac Herzog, has warned Israel is "within touching distance" of an abyss and that civil war is possible. And Israel's former prime minister Ehud Olmert urged world leaders Thursday to shun Netanyahu.
Last week in Ottawa, Norwegian Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt said the conflict is now worse than it has been in three decades and many developing countries find it hypocritical for states to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine without calling out Israeli settlements.
