Israel’s Netanyahu delays judicial overhaul plans
JERUSALEM (AA) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that he would postpone controversial plans to overhaul the judiciary, which had sparked mass protests nationwide.
In a speech, Netanyahu said there is an “extremist minority” that is trying to divide Israel.
“If there is a way to avoid civil war through dialog, I will take time out for dialog,” Netanyahu said.
The Israeli prime minister added that he had postponed the final reading of the judiciary overhaul bill “out of national responsibility.”
