Israel’s Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has announced a postponement of the controversial judicial reform of the right-wing religious government in Israel. A spokesman said on Monday that he had agreed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to postpone it until after the parliamentary break at the end of July. In return, a “national guard” will be set up under the leadership of the far-right minister. What this means in concrete terms was initially unclear.
According to media reports, Netanyahu wanted to comment on the controversial judicial reform later on Monday. However, the exact time was not initially known.
