The U.S. National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson expressed deep concern over the recent developments in Israel in the wake of protests following the firing of the countryโ€™s defense minister and proposed changes to its judicial system.

In a statement released by the White House on March 26, Watson encouraged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to find a compromise in the face of the intense frustration on the part of the Israeli people.

โ€œWe continue to strongly urge Israeli leaders to find a compromise as soon as possible,โ€ Watson said. โ€œWe believe that is the best path forward for Israel and all of its citizens.โ€

The spokesperson highlighted the importance of democratic values in the America-Israel relationship.

โ€œAs the president recently discussed with Prime Minister Netanyahu, democratic values have always been, and must remain, a hallmark of the U.S.-Israel relationship.โ€

She emphasized the Biden administrationโ€™s support for checks and balances found in a Democratic system saying, โ€œfundamental changes to a democratic system should be pursued with the broadest possible base of popular support.โ€

Watson ended her statement by reiterating the United Statesโ€™s backing for the nation saying, โ€œU.S. support for Israelโ€™s security and democracy remains ironclad.โ€

Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on March 26, amid further protests over a proposed change of the court system, a day after Gallant defied the administration and advocated for a temporary halt to compromise discussions.

At a critical juncture in the legislationโ€™s approval, Gallant warned that the amendments posed โ€œa clear, immediate, and tangible threat to the security of the state.โ€

A day earlier, Gallant was informed by 200 reservist pilots and 100 medics in the military reserves that they would refuse to serve if the government passed the reforms.

โ€œAt this time, for the sake of our country, I am willing to take any risk and pay any price,โ€ Gallant said in his televised address.
