Netanyahu said to have met Fitch officials before A+ credit rating affirmation

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met senior officials at Fitch Ratings before the firm affirmed Israel’s A+ credit rating and stable outlook, the Kan public broadcaster and Channel 12 news report.

The reports say the meeting played a part in convincing Fitch officials that the government has given up plans to pass an “override clause” as part of its judicial overhaul and that it no longer seeks an automatic coalition majority in the Judicial Selection Committee.
