Netanyahu is moving – and is postponing controversial judicial reform for the time being – Israel

Benjamin Netanyahu miscalculated. When the Israeli Prime Minister fired Defense Minister Joav Gapasst Illant late on Sunday evening because he had spoken out in favor of stopping the controversial judicial reform (see Knowledge), he made his calculations without the Israelis. Shortly therefollowing, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets, took part in strikes and called on the government to rethink. In the end with success. On Monday evening, long following a date originally scheduled for the morning, Netanyahu appeared in front of the cameras and announced that he would postpone the reform decision.
