The US president is scheduled to meet Netanyahu in New York on Wednesday, according to the White House. The US national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said the two leaders would "discuss a range of bilateral and regional issues focused on the shared democratic values between the United States and Israel and a vision for a more stable and prosperous and integrated region, as well as compare notes on effectively countering and deterring Iran".
Sullivan's reference to shared democratic values was a reference to deep unease in Biden's White House about the judicial changes being pushed by Netanyahu's hardline coalition partners, which it sees as an assault on the judiciary's independence.
The proposals have been greeted by the largest protest movement in Israeli history, including unprecedented declarations from thousands of military reservists that they wished to be released from service.
