Israel's prime minister delays legal reforms after day of strikes

Benjamin Netanyahu announced he would delay a key part of controversial plans to overhaul the justice system.

Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he would delay a key part of controversial plans to overhaul the justice system to prevent a "rupture among our people". However it is unclear what a delay will achieve beyond buying time.
