Israeli Prime Minister Delays Judicial Overhaul After Passover Holiday

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will delay the process for discussions on the controversial planned judicial overhaul to next month.
Parliament will go on recess next week for the Passover holiday.
According to a statement from the far-right and coalition member party Jewish Power, the legislation would be pushed to the next session of the Israeli parliament to "pass the reform through dialogue," Reuters noted.
Earlier this month, the Israeli president warned of chances of civil war while announcing alternative changes to the judiciary in response to a planned overhaul by Tel Aviv's far-right coalition that triggered mass protests in recent weeks.
Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-right government seeks to implement significant alterations to the nation's top court. This move has sparked domestic uproar and alarm among Israel's western allies.
In February, Benjamin Netanyahu said he would be willing to mediate between Russia and Ukraine if asked by the relevant parties.
Netanyahu added that he was asked to be a mediator shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year but had to decline it because he was Israel's opposition leader then, not the prime minister.
