Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau voices deep concern over Israel’s judicial overhaul plan during a televised news conference.
“We’re also very concerned about the judicial reforms that the Israeli government is determined to move forward with,” Trudeau says, according to Reuters.
“I’m going to continue to encourage Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu to look for greater consensus as they look at judicial reforms,” he adds.
Contrary to reports in some Hebrew media outlets about a phone call today between the leaders, Netanyahu’s office says no such conversation has taken place.
