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.

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
