STATEMENT: Gottheimer, Moskowitz Statement on Israeli Judicial Reform Process

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, March 31, 2023, U.S. Congressmen Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) and Jared Moskowitz (FL-23) released the following statement:

“Over the last several months, we have witnessed Israeli democracy at work — citizens of many backgrounds have demonstrated and made their voices heard, committed to Israel’s vibrant democratic ideals. We welcome the news that Israel’s government has temporarily suspended consideration of the judicial reform package.

At this unique juncture, and after meeting with Ambassador Herzog, we urge calm and consensus to include the voices of Israel’s civil society, and we look forward to democracy in action through dialogue and compromise.”
