Israel's Netanyahu to revive judicial overhaul, drop most contentious part -WSJ

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would drop the most controversial part of his plan to remake the court system, which would have allowed the national legislature to overturn Supreme Court rulings, the Wall Street Journal said on Thursday.

In an interview with the paper, Netanyahu said he would also revise another controversial element that would have given the ruling coalition more power to appoint judges, but added that he was not sure what the new version would look like.
