President Isaac Herzog is set to reveal his compromise proposal over the government’s plans to radically overhaul the judicial system at 8:30 p.m.
Herzog says he will unveil his “People’s Framework” for changes in the judicial system.
The expected reveal sparked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to delay his flight to Berlin and hold consultations with coalition leaders, reports said.
Channel 12 news says Netanyahu could also make a statement to the nation.
Ahead of the move, the ruling Likud party has banned its MKs from speaking to the press, the Walla news site reports.
Meanwhile, reports say that Herzog has appointed Ovad Yehezkel, a former cabinet secretary and previous close associate of former prime minister Ehud Olmert, to lead the negotiations.
Herzog has warned the judicial overhaul and opposition to it could lead to imminent conflict and even potential bloodshed.
