Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to delay a controversial plan to overhaul Israel's judiciary, a key ally in his government says.
A powerful partner in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government says the country’s proposed judicial overhaul has been delayed for at least several weeks.
Thousands of protesters gathered Monday outside the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, to keep up the pressure. Israel’s Palestinian citizens, however, have largely sat out the protests. Many say Israel’s democracy is tarnished by its military rule over the West Bank and the discrimination Palestinians face.
“Where are we leading our beloved Israel? To the abyss,” Arnon Bar-David, the union group head, said in a rousing speech to applause. “Today we are stopping everyone’s descent toward the abyss.” “Democratic values have always been, and must remain, a hallmark of the U.S.-Israel relationship,” Watson said.
