March 27, 2023Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has announced the suspension of the controversial judicial overhaul, after months of massive nationwide demonstrations.In a statement on Monday evening, Netanyahu said that he ordered a “timeout” on the controversial legislation until after the Knesset recess, in order “to give a real opportunity for real dialogue.
Israel already bans Christians from proselytising minors but this new bill will go even further and “ban any and all efforts to tell people about Jesus.” Criticisms have followed the introduction of the bill that will make it a criminal offence to persuade anyone to convert to another religion.Earlier, local media reported that the Israeli PM held lengthy discussions on the matter overnight with his political allies.The reform is a key demand of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The reform was meant to limit the power of the Supreme Court to rule against the legislative and executive branches of government, while granting the governing coalition a majority on the committee that appoints judges. The proposal met fierce opposition, with opponents describing the overhaul as an attack on democracy.
Wish Nigerians were like Isrealis
He wanted to slide Isreal into a dictatorship to influence his corruption trials. 🤣 It didn't work because the office of the citizen was active.
Victory to the people. Nigerians learn from this experience. This is democracy, speaking up against government excesses and corruption does not mean you are an enemy to the democracy or unpatriotic. Actually keeping quiet and not trying to do something makes you complicit.
