According to the Jerusalem Post, Benjamin Netanyahu is going to ask the Knesset to freeze the legislation changing the judicial system. President Herzog has asked him to do this and the latest protests played no small part. Massive demonstrations broke out Sunday in Israel after Bibi fired his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, who had called on the prime minister to delay action on judicial reforms in lieu of negotiations.
President Herzog::
"Tonight we saw some very difficult scenes," said "I'm turning to the prime minister, the government and the members of the coalition: The emotions are difficult and painful. Deep anxiety is engulfing the people. The security, the economy, the society - everything is threatened. The eyes of all the people of Israel are turned to you.
For the sake of the unity of the people of Israel, for the sake of responsibility, I am calling on you to stop legislation immediately. I turn to all the party leaders in the Knesset, coalition and opposition as one, put the citizens of the nation above all else and behave responsibly and bravely without further delay.”
I’m not sure if Bibi has completely “folded”, but the tides seem to be shifting.
