Netanyahu's lawyer refuses to represent him unless reforms shelved

One of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's lawyers has announced he will not be representing his client unless the judicial reforms are shelved.

Boaz Ben Zur spoke with Netanyahu on Monday morning according to Israeli media.

Ben Zur is a member of the legal team representing Netanyahu in a number of corruption cases. He was representing the prime minister in Case 4000 - involving breach of trust charges - which is considered the most serious of the three cases.
