The United Nations has called on Israel to “pause” plans to gut the judiciary. The move by Benjamin Netanyahu’s extreme-right government has triggered two months of mass protests.

This comes after the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved a statement of opposition to Israel’s illegal expansion of settlements Monday.

It’s the first time in over six years the U.S. has agreed to a rebuke of Israel, though advocates denounced the watered-down, nonbinding statement in place of a more consequential resolution.
