Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will delay the dismissal of his defence chief, announced over a week ago after the minister called for a halt to the government's flagship justice overhaul, a source close the matter said on Monday.
Netanyahu announced he was firing Yoav Gallant on March 26, following Gallant's public call to pause the bitterly contested plans for the judiciary, which opened social divisions he said were affecting the military and threatening Israel's security.
