#Netanyahu has decided to "delay" the vote on the contravercial judiciary "reform" until the next #Knesset meeting

The play is to ride the wave of protestests and to win time before he pushes for the proposal to become law.

He knows that his fragile coalition can not survive without the extreme right and terrorist #Kahane movement, so there is a small risk that he gives up and takes the proposal back.

He is going to speak at a rally by his supporters, backed by Ben Gvir and Kahanists that is expected to lead to violence clashes with those opposing the fascist takeover of judiciary system.

Far-right former settler leader Naftali Bennett to be installed as prime minister

Israel’s longest-serving leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been ousted from office by a loose coalition of rivals from across the political spectrum, united by their wish to end his 12-year run in power.

The opposition leader, Yair Lapid, a centrist former TV news anchor, won a confidence vote in the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, by a razor-thin advantage of 60-59 seats on Sunday evening.

Lapid will not initially become prime minister. Instead, under a power-sharing agreement, his former foe and far-right advocate for the settler movement in the Palestinian territories, Naftali Bennett, was sworn in as the country’s leader.
