Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation amid massive protests, confirming that changes to the judicial system have been postponed until summer. He stated that the ruling coalition is ready to engage in constructive dialogue with the opposition.

Despite the announcement, protests continue across Israel. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets in various cities to oppose the planned reforms of the judicial system. Clashes were reported between police and citizens in Tel Aviv, where law enforcement used water cannons, sound grenades, and tear gas.

According to protest organizers, around 450,000 people are demonstrating across the country, including 230,000 in Tel Aviv alone.
