Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s national security adviser, a veteran Likud MK, comes out in support of dialogue between the coalition and opposition regarding the government’s sweeping legal overhaul, and against attempts to portray the protests against it as “anarchist” and “far-left.”

At a Conference of Presidents event in Jerusalem, Tzachi Hanegbi says he has “many friends who are not anarchists and not extreme leftists, and they are definitely concerned by the judicial issue.”
