                                 ISRAEL

  Ms. KLOBUCHER. Mr. President, I rise to talk about recent 
developments in Israel. Israel is America's ally and partner in 
intelligence and defense. Our Nation's relationship with Israel is 
built upon shared democratic values that have united our countries 
throughout the last 75 years.
  The decision this week of the Netanyahu government in Israel to 
suspend the proposed judicial legislation opens the door for Israelis 
to find a path forward. For Israel to remain a bedrock for democracies 
globally, it must have an independent judiciary, support for the rule 
of law, and a system of proper checks and balances.
