Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has walked back on his decision to remove defence minister Yoav Gallant over his speaking out against controversial judicial reforms. In a live press conference, Netanyahu said that Mr Gallant is staying at his post. "I decided to put the differences we had behind us," he said. "Gallant remains in his position and we will continue to work together for the security of the citizens of Israel."
In a tweet showing himself sitting next to Netanyahu, Gallant wrote: "We continue together with full strength, for Israel's security."
