Protests have engulfed the nation, but the Prime Minister will try to convince people over the next few months

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced he will delay his plan to overhaul the justice system until the summer.

The nation has been engulfed in protests after he fired his defence minister, who had spoken out against the plans.

Israel also saw services come to a halt after the country’s biggest trade union called for a strike over the issue.

The government is seeking to take decisive control over the committee which appoints judges, but the PM says he will consult more before bringing into law.

The reforms would give the parliament authority to override Supreme Court decisions with a basic majority, and would make it difficult to declare a prime minister unfit for office and remove them from power.

Netanyahu says the changes would stop courts over-reaching their powers, but critics say they would help him, as he faces an ongoing trial for corruption.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
