Still Hot in Israel

The government of Prime Minister Netanyahu is inactive trying to push through the bill on the improvement of the judiciary, as far as red is afraid the political atmosphere in the country has warmed up. For weeks now there have been protests on the Israeli streets that seem to be unfailing. Surveys show that more and more citizens are having doubts about the legitimacy of the proposed reforms. 1 poll shows that only 20% of Israelis support the improvement without any reservations. According to unofficial information, Prime Minister Netanyahu hesitates what decision to make and what to do with the reform. Netanjahu is in a very hard situation, due to the fact that his ultra-right coalitions are primarily pushing for reform. If Netanjahu pushes forward with reform, he risks further protests and further polarization of society. If he withdraws, he threatens to break up the government coalition he fought for so long.

Netanjahu surely found himself at a crossroads, but he is simply a very experienced politician. It is very possible that it will find specified a solution to satisfy its coalitions and opposition.
