Balanced News: Israelis back on streets after Netanyahu rejects reforms compromise

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a proposed compromise plan touted by the country’s president on judicial reforms, which are “the end of democracy.” Tens of thousands of Israelis protested across the country, with opposition leaders joining a later rally in central Tel Aviv. The ruling coalition, which includes ultra-Orthodox Jewish and extreme-right parties, argues the proposed reforms are necessary to correct a power imbalance between elected representatives and Israel’s top court.
