Israel's Netanyahu government backtracks on judicial overhaul plan.

Israel's governing coalition has offered to delay some parts of its controversial plan to overhaul the judicial system, but it has stood by pledges to quickly enact the most provocative components, including a proposal to give the government greater control over the selection of Supreme Court judges. Critics say the new proposal would still effectively allow the government to dictate the composition of the high court. The ongoing protests are creating divisions within the government, but they are not yet wide enough to derail the restructuring effort.
