NBC reports that the Biden administration believes that Israel's government will likely abandon its plan to overhaul the judicial system amid widespread protests and strikes.

On March 27, Netanyahu announced that a vote on the proposed changes would be postponed.

.

While the postponement brought an end to strikes, the protests have continued.

.

Critics warn that the plan would not only weaken the power of the judicial system, it would remove a crucial check on executive power.

.

The plan would have allowed a majority of the Knesset to overturn Supreme Court rulings, which would have effectively eliminated the power of the judicial branch.

John Kirby, a White House National Security Council spokesman, said that Biden has urged Netanyahu to , “design a way forward that was based on compromise and that could result in that sort of consensus support.”.

But he was very clear, and it really does come from a position of respect and friendship for Israel and everything that Israel stands for, John Kirby, White House National Security Council spokesman, via NBC.

NBC reports that the controversy in Israel comes as democracies and autocracies are clashing over primacy.

This ongoing battle means that the Biden administration cannot afford to allow a U.S. ally to abandon the checks and balances that serve as a foundation for democracy.
