As he said he is “aware of the tensions” and “listens to the people”, however he insists that the reform is necessary
He is determined not to give in to the pressure of the enraged people the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu however, as he announced addressing the Israeli citizens postpones judicial reform.
As he said “he’s got awareness of tensions” and “he listens to the world.”
Referring to the refusal of some Israel Defense Forces reservists to train in protest at the government’s plans to overhaul the judiciary, Netanyahu said: “The state of Israel cannot continue with people who refuse to serve in the army. This refusal is the end of our country.”
“Out of responsibility to the nation, I have decided to delay… the vote, to allow time for discussion so that we can reach a broad consensus” Netanyahu said in his televised address.
However, he pointed out that judicial review is necessary. He indicated he would delay the second and third votes until after the Easter break in April (5-13) “to allow time for a real opportunity for a real discussion to take place.”
After the Israeli Prime Minister’s statements, the Histadrut, the country’s largest labor union, called off the strike. The prime minister’s decision to delay – but not abandon – the controversial judiciary bill appears to have had the intended effect, at least in the country’s main trade union.
