The White House has released a statement sharing “deep concern” over developments in Israel.
“Democratic values have always been, and must remain, a hallmark of the US-Israel relationship,” the statement says.
It adds that fundamental changes to a democratic system should be “pursued with the broadest possible base of popular support”.
The White House urges Israeli leaders to “find a compromise as soon as possible” and says US support for Israel’s security and democracy “remains ironclad”.
