Israel’s Netanyahu postpones judicial reform law adoption until summer

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to postpone the judicial reform legislation to the summer.

The government will approve at its next meeting a decision to form a National Guard, promising not to leave the government over Netanyahu's intention to postpone the legislation of the first judicial reform bill, according to The Jerusalem Post.

On March 27, Ben-Gvir reportedly threatened to quit the government if Netanyahu decided to freeze the legislation until after the Knesset recess between April 2-30. The coalition announced last week that the first bill, which would give the coalition a majority in Israel's Judicial Appointments Committee, would pass before the Knesset recesses.
