Israel’s Netanyahu-led government passed the first of three readings of a bill in the contentious judicial reform plan overnight on Tuesday, granting the ruling coalition more control over the appointment of judges.
Sixty-three Knesset members voted in favor and 47 voted against, with no abstentions, but some lawmakers boycotted the vote.
A protestor waves Israeli flags during a demonstration against judicial reforms held in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, while Israeli lawmakers were set to vote in a first reading on the debated judicial reform in the Knesset. “You will not hear a different approach from me, as I have been open to talks since day one,” Rothman said, and added that he had no plans to heed the opposition’s call to suspend the legislative process.

The same lies being told about Trump's MAGA and America First policies -- that they're racist, they're misogynistic, they're homophobic -- are being told about Netanyahu's pro-Israeli policies. The left is going nuts over Israel right now. So what does Israel think about it all? Alex Traiman, CEO of Jewish News Syndicate and a long-time Israel resident, discusses what's really on the minds of the Israeli people.
