Judicial overhaul delayed for ‘at least several weeks,’ national security minister says
A powerful partner in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government says the country’s proposed judicial overhaul has been delayed for at least several weeks.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir says he agreed to a delay in the legislation until parliament reconvenes for its summer session on April 30.
There was no immediate confirmation from Netanyahu.
