PM poised to place judicial overhaul on hold until dialogue reached

Netanyahu was poised to announce the decision Monday morning, although it was unclear if this was enough to placate the opposition to the controversial bills. Israel Hayom has learned that the bills could be reintroduced after Israel's Independence Day in late April.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will likely halt legislation of a judicial overhaul plan proposed by his coalition, a source from the ruling Likud party told Reuters.

According to Channel 12 News, Netanyahu has already made the decision and was set to announce it in an address to the nation at 10:30 a.m. just hours after Israel saw the most massive protests in its 75-year history when hundreds of thousands of people flocked to key intersections around the country to protest his firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant who came out against the judicial reforms.

The controversial legal changes would have made the governing coalition all but immune to judicial review when appointing key cabinet officers and amending Israel's constitutional framework. It would have also let the governing party and its allies handpick almost without any opposition Supreme Court justices.

Israel Hayom has learned that the bills could be reintroduced after Israel's Independence Day in late April, which could result in yet another massive wave of demonstrations.

An Israeli parliament review panel on Monday approved for possible ratification a key bill in Netanyahu's contested judicial overhaul.

During a stormy Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee session on the bill that would give the religious-nationalist coalition more control over the appointments of judges, an Opposition lawmaker draped an Israeli flag on the chairman in protest.
