JERUSALEM, March 27 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will delay the process for discussions on the controversial planned judicial overhaul to next month, a statement from the far-right and coalition member party Jewish Power said on Monday.

The statement said the legislation would be pushed to the next session of Israeli parliament in order to "pass the reform through dialogue," the statement said.

Parliament will go on recess next week for the Passover holiday.

1. Bibi is trying to do to Israel what TFG has promised to do to the US if TFG is re-elected

8. Trump has already done part of what Bibi is trying to do, which is create a Supreme Court with no

power or wishes to block right-wing policies. We’ve seen how far our right-wing court has been willing to support Republican religious goals and also their support for corporations that treats them as people with individual rights and narrows what government can do to protect people from predatory businesses.

But another Trump presidency would definitely be the end of our democracy.

2. Translation: Nutty-yahoo's hoping a Repug will be in the White House after '24

Together, they'll stage some false-flag attack, start a war (probably with Syria) - and then, any domestic opposition to Bibi will have to quiet down.

11. Excellent Comment!!!!

Excellent comment! You are showing us how this part of the world works! Netanyahu does want a war on Syria or Lebanon to protect Israel. A proxy war is already taking place in Syria. A shame that that functioning but not perfect country is being ruined by outside interests.

12. Thank you - and likewise!

Would it that it weren't so - but such is the world sometimes (certainly Likudniks).

3. Both Trump and Bibi want to stay out of jail.

9. That was my take on this

We know Bibi's been in office WAY too long and that he's got lawyers snapping at his heels. Naturally, he wants to make sure they can't do anything to him and he can stay in power forever because he's never going to die.

They came so close to getting rid of him in that last election. Now it looks like he's going to be perfectly happy with a civil war.

Why the hell can't more people see through these characters in time to prevent disaster?

5. says he is only delaying the process.. Ha --watch closely what he DOES next month

6. Flights grounded, labor union strike: backlash to Netanyahu's Israel reforms intensify

Israeli labor unions launched a nationwide strike, malls and ports were closed and airlines were grounded as opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to overhaul the judiciary threatened to upend the nation's economy.

The chaos came after floods of protesters stormed the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in response to Netanyahu's abrupt ousting of his defense minister, who had opposed his controversial judicial reform plan. The plan, driven by the country's new right-wing government, would weaken the role of the Israeli Supreme Court, and intense opposition has sparked what some analysts say is among the country's worst crises ever.

On Sunday, the protests included highway bonfires and knocking down police barricades outside Netanyahu's home in Jerusalem.

It was unclear Monday whether Netanyahu would respond to pressure to halt his plan. The Biden administration weighed in on Sunday, urging compromise as it said it was "deeply concerned" about democratic values in Israel.

10. Called a time-out because he's gettin his ass whupped.

Keep your eyes open though, kids. He’ll try the same thing once it’s game-on again.

13. Bigots must be so confused right now.

Good for the public rising up. Best thing to happen would be a collapse of the coalition and new elections, with better results. Extremists are a plague throughout the world.
