Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant called on Saturday for an immediate and temporary halt to the far-right government's contentious plan to overhaul the judiciary, the first public dissent from within Prime Minister Benjamin's coalition.
Citing the need for dialogue with the opposition, Gallant asked Netanyahu's coalition to wait until after the Jewish passover holiday that begins on April 5 before pushing ahead with its divisive plan to overhaul the judiciary.
