According to Netanyahu, CNN Despite judiciary plans, Israel will remain a "robust democracy."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CNN Sunday that his country would remain a “robust democracy” despite controversial plans to overhaul the country’s judicial system. Despite widespread protests, a nationwide strike and international pressure last month, Netayahu delayed votes on the changes, which would have amounted to the most sweeping overhaul of the Israeli legal system since the country’s founding. Netanyahu indicated that he may be backing away from one of the most controversial aspects of the overhaul: giving parliament the power to override Supreme Court decisions with a simple majority. Netanyahu argued that Israel has been thrown off balance, as he often does when defending the judicial overhaul program. The most important details in this text are that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed the idea that the controversy around the judicial overhaul plan would drive high-tech businesses out of the country, and that he is sanguine in the middle and long term about Israel’s economy.

He also rejected Zakaria’s suggestion that the flare-up of violence between Israel and the Palestinians could torpedo Israel’s warming relations with its Arab neighbors.
