President Isaac Herzog is now huddling with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the hospital, for what his office describes as an “urgent meeting” to discuss reaching agreement with the opposition on the coalition’s judicial overhaul package.

“This is a time of emergency. An agreement must be reached,” Herzog is quoted saying in a statement from the President’s Residence.
