Tel Aviv Demonstrations Continue Into Night as Netanyahu Announces Delay to Judicial Reform Plans

Protests continued in Tel Aviv late on Monday, March 27, amid a general strike in the country.

On Monday evening, Haaretz reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would delay his government’s judicial reform plans and that he called it “the right thing to do.”

On Sunday, the prime minister fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over the controversial reforms, a day after Gallant had called for legislation regarding the government’s judicial overhaul to be paused, the Times of Israel reported.
