Israel's Netanyahu says opposition doesn't want 'real negotiations' on Judicial reform

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the decision of opposition leaders Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid to suspend their participation in talks to find common ground on his government's controversial judicial reform plan is proof that they "don't want real negotiations".

The hard-right government's proposals would curtail the authority of the Supreme Court and give politicians greater powers over the selection of judges.
