Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has been urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt the legislation of the judicial overhaul, the Ynet news site reports.
Gallan tells Netanyahu that one-sided legislation will tear the army apart, the report says, describing the talks as “tough.” Gallant also warns that ties with the US are being harmed, as is the country’s military deterrence.
The unsourced report says Netanyahu is refusing to budge.
Despite Gallant’s position, he will not vote against the laws when they come up in the Knesset, the report says.
