Netanyahu postpones legal reforms following Israel protests.

TL;DR Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed a key part of his controversial plans to overhaul the justice system, following intensified protests and a nationwide strike. The proposed changes would give parliament authority to override Supreme Court decisions with a basic majority and make it difficult to declare a prime minister unfit for office and remove them from power. Netanyahu said the changes would stop courts over-reaching their powers, but critics said they would help him as he faces an ongoing trial for corruption. The delay has been cautiously welcomed by opposition leader Yair Lapid.
