Speaking to the US-hosted Democracy conference, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu compares the public opposition to his past economic reforms to current protests against his judicial overhaul.

Netanyahu says his critics were wrong then, and are wrong now.

But he tries to reassure concerned international critics that “Israel was, is, and always will remain a proud democracy at the heart of the Middle East.”
