National Unity Party chairman, Benny Gantz responded on Tuesday night to US President Joe Biden's criticism of Israel's conduct vis-à-vis the judicial reform.

"President Biden tonight sent an urgent wake-up call to the Israeli government. Damaging relations with the United States, our best friend and our most important ally, is a strategic attack.The Prime Minister must guide his negotiating teams regarding the legislation, act quickly to correct the situation and preserve the Israeli democracy that is at the basis of these values."

"No less important, he must act with political and security responsibility - announce tonight that Minister Gallant will remain in his post, remove the security powers from Minister Smotrich, and not allow Minister Ben Gvir’s rampage," Gantz said.
