Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with former US treasury secretary Larry Summers in a bid to convince him to back the new government’s proposals to upend the Israeli judicial system, according to Channel 12 news.
The report comes amid warnings by prominent economists, financial institutions, businesspeople and others that the plans being advanced by Netanyahu’s coalition could have a negative impact on Israel’s economy and credit rating.
