Justice Minister Yariv Levin vows to advance the government’s judicial overhaul plans, denying a report he has been at odds with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Ridiculous fake news,” Levin tells Channel 13 news regarding the report by rival Channel 12 earlier this week. The Likud party also swiftly denied the report.
“I have the full backing of Likud, the coalition, and the public to move forward with the reform,” Levin tells Channel 13.
