Israel in Crisis: Netanyahu's Delay and Firings Spark Protests and Debate.

TL;DR Summary
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has called on current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to either reform his coalition or resign. Olmert, who is an outspoken opponent of Netanyahu, believes that the current government is "doomed to fall" due to its makeup and controversial policies. Netanyahu recently postponed a vote on a controversial overhaul of the country's judiciary until after parliament returns from recess at the end of April, following three months of massive protests. Netanyahu is currently on trial for three criminal cases alleging corruption, which is a large part of why his proposed judicial reforms are so controversial.
