TEL AVIV : Facing stiff resistance across Israel against the plan of government to disempower Judiciary in the country, the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has reversed his decision to sack the defence minister, Yoav Gallant. Gallant was fired by Netanyahu for opposing the move of the government to disempower judiciary stating that it would harm the military.
In a televised speech late on Monday, Netanyahu said Gallant would stay in his position, two weeks after he dismissed the minister. Gallant welcomed Netanyahu’s move, posting on social media a picture of him with the premier and the message: “We continue together with full power for Israel.”
