Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Defence Minister Yoav Galant after he called on the government to halt controversial judicial reform, a Likud party spokesman said.

Out of concern for Israel’s ability to defend itself, Galant had, in a speech on Saturday evening, called on Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition to halt its plans for the reform, core elements of which are set to be implemented in the next few days. A vote on the law to give government politicians more influence in appointing judges could take place as early as Monday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided, this evening [...], to dismiss Defense Minister Yoav Gallant,” a statement from the prime minister’s office late on Sunday read.
