Israel PM Netanyahu delays judicial overhaul plan after protests

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that a controversial plan to overhaul the country’s judiciary will be delayed after months of protest and opposition from within his own government.
Netanyahu said he wanted to give time to seek a compromise over the contentious package with his political opponents.
“Out of a sense of national responsibility, out of a will to prevent a rupture among our people, I have decided to pause the second and third readings of the bill,” he said in an address on Monday.

The only reason he did this is cuz he won't be able to push the legislation without the backing of the military which became divided over this proposal.

This is all aligning with prophecy. One will arise that will "bring order out of the chaos" and forge a peace treaty. Before that, those who have been made righteous by the blood of the Lamb will be taken up & out of the earth. There will be 7 years of greater Tribulation never known to the earth before the Messiah returns.
