Netanyahu to Biden: let's not give in to external pressure

Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to heed US President Joe Biden's call to withdraw his disputed justice reform. "Israel is an independent country and will not give in to external pressure," Netanyahu told Biden, who said he he said ''very worried. They cannot continue like this''. The first immediate result of this change in relations between the two leaders is that Netanyahu "no, not in the short term" will go to the White House, as Biden underlined. Rejecting ''external pressures, including those of our best friends'', the Zionist premier said that "the government led by me is committed to strengthening democracy by restoring the right balance between the three authorities, we are striving to reach a broad consensus ".
