TL;DR Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a delay to his government's controversial judicial reforms following a day of nationwide protests and strikes. Netanyahu blamed an "extremist minority" for trying to divide the nation and criticised soldiers who opposed the bill. The delay comes in an effort to reach a broad consensus, but it is unclear what the timeframe for the delay will be. The protests, which have been ongoing for weeks, reflect opposition to the proposed changes to Israel's judicial system, which many feel have been implemented too quickly and without proper debate.
