Netanyahu's Political Future in Jeopardy Amidst Mass Protests and Judicial Overhaul Delay

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed his judicial overhaul plan in order to seek a compromise with his political opponents after two days of large protests against the plan. Netanyahu said he was determined to pass a judicial reform but called for “an attempt to achieve broad consensus.” The plan, driven by Netanyahu and his allies in Israel’s most right-wing government ever, has plunged Israel into one of its worst domestic crises. It has sparked sustained protests that have galvanized nearly all sectors of society, including its military, where reservists have increasingly said publicly that they will not serve a country veering toward autocracy.
