accused netanyahu of a power grab saying it will give the ruling coalition unchecked power. natasha good name reports from west jerusalem. in the face of protest growing by the day a reversal by a prime minister not known for compromise limits from a national responsibility from the will to avoid the rift within the people are decided to suspend the 2nd and 3rd reading from the law. in this committee tenure in order to give time to get to a broad consensus to pass the legislation during the next class it mon benjamin netanyahu gave way as the country face growing paralysis. with a nationwide strike closing airport schools, banks and businesses. tens of thousands filled the streets to voice, their frustration here. fighting for this edition,
2:03 am
for an attempt to overthrow the judiciary and take control by the position will be thrown away from the table. and we are also asking that benjamin if anyhow, will resign and take responsibility for what he has done to this country. but netanyahu's delay came with a price hard line, national security minister, m r ben. good beer, said his party, only agree to the delay in exchange for the formation of the national guard. under the command of ben rivers office. there were divisions within the ruling coalition, some called for uniting behind netanyahu. oh, did you do so overhaul and diffused the crisis. others dug in saying they would not surrender to violate energy and the tyranny of the minority. the far right governing coalition and supporters say they will not have the vote or the state stolen from that. i think it is a tremendous mistake to stop the reform. however,
2:04 am
i can understand because of the heat of the moment and the fighting was going on the as to make a calculated decision. but, but that reform is an absolute necessity for this country to continue in a democratic crash. left unresolved. the post of defense minister, call it it was netanyahu firing of yo of a lot on sunday that brought the crisis to ahead. as of monday evening, the lights had not received a formal dismissal letter that yahoo has 48 hours to need a successor. that oxygen a l 0. what jerusalem? the white house as it welcome to israeli prime ministers moved to pull the judicial bill. so we welcome this announcement as an opportunity to create additional time and space for compromise. compromise is precisely what we have been calling for and we continue to strongly urge israeli leaders to find
2:05 am
a compromise as soon as possible. we believe that it is the best path forward for israel, israel, and all of it citizen. to find this compromise. democratic societies are strengthened by checks and balances, and fund mental changes to a democratic system should be pursued with the broadest possible base of popular supports. well let's get more on this now we're joined by libby lankin ski. she's vice president at the new israel fund that the group that promote liberal democracy in israel and support civil society organizations there. she's joining us live from new york. thank you very much for your time. i believe that you've been protesting in the us against the proposed change is one of the concerns of those who joined you in new york. thank you very much for having me and yeah, my hair is still wet from protesting these last few hours outside in the rain in new york city, outside of the israeli consulate here. and the,
2:06 am
it's important for me to point out, and this was very much what people were discussing on the streets in new york, and in israel to day, the traditional who of been attend. yahoo administration has not been cancelled. it's just been delayed and it's been delayed at a steep price. the security force that has been promised to one of the most violent and extreme members of the israeli government. each em are been fear, has the potential to cost a lot of people their lives. and we're not seeing this as a victory in the long term for us, it's about making sure that this did that, this judicial, who doesn't happen ever. but it's also about a lot more than that. this has been a moment of shake up and of a weakening for many israeli citizens and people who support israel and support
2:07 am
a jest, resolution to the conflict around the world. it's a moment that we hope will mean a dramatic reckoning and a redefining of the democracy. that we want one that provides rights and equality to everyone that there's a lot to unpack there. i want to just pick up on something you said about as a mob. been via saying that the national guard that he is asking for. and in exchange for this legislation being delay that you said that it's going to cost a lot of people their lives. can you explain what you mean by that? i mean, the political camp that each of our been fear comes from. is one that regularly in faith, towards violence against palestinians living in the west bank and also palestinian citizens of israel. we know that there are factions within what we call make cities who are looking to instigate conflict in those cities.
2:08 am
we saw the potential for what can happen in the events of last may. and this was before our been very or had a national guard. the answer is only taken. so i'm terrified about what this could mean. you also mentioned that this moment could be a reckoning for people in israel for israeli democracy. the conflict with palestinians so far the month of protest that was seen. and israel, it's very much being about propose changes to the judicial system and how that is a threat to israeli democracy. but nothing about the possible threat or the threat rather of being an occupying force while being a democracy. if you really think that things protest could lead to a wider reckoning for the palestinian israeli conflict, i do think so,
2:09 am
and i think so because there was a turning points over these last couple of months when the protests began. and 12 weeks ago, there was already the beginning of what is now being called the anti occupation block. if you can see me, you can see i'm wearing a t shirt from that block. in israel, it's the block that has been bringing an ant hacky patient message in for the 1st few weeks of the protests, those anti occupation protesters were met with pretty harsh resistance among other protesters that had to do with carrying the palestinian flag and use of the terms, occupation and a part time on their signs. but after the settler pilgrim in the west bank town of hora, the antarctic patient block has a begin to begun to grow pretty dramatically. and b has been left has been met
2:10 am
with a lot less resistance. so do i think this going to change everything overnight? definitely not. but there are certainly people who are shaken up for the 1st time into understanding what all this means in the long term and understanding that there can be no democracy with occupation. and what about the u. s. government role? if any in all of this that has considerable leverage with israel, it is israel, strongest ally, we've heard from on the u. s. various u. s. government departments, the u. s. department of defense saying that the secretary lloyd austin underscored president biden's firm belief in the imperative of strong institutions, an independent judiciary for vibrant democracies. but do you think that the government, the u. s. government is using any of the leverage it does have i think
2:11 am
that we saw some unprecedented action when another extremist minister of its olives much rich planned his visit to the u. s. just a couple of weeks ago. i think both from the american jewish community and from the administration, it was clear that the ideology, that patella's mattress beside beth's silence muggeridge represents an espouse is, is over our red line. it's my hope that the administration extend that to consequences for the entire fitness and yahoo administration for the acts that they're taking to dismantle what's left of israeli democracy and also the policies of fear and separation that will ultimately lead to more violence. so i don't think that the administration has leveraged their position enough yet. i hope that as things unfolds a well, my biggest hope is that they unfold in
2:12 am
a positive direction. unfortunately, i don't see that happening. and so my hope is that the administration will take a firmer stance of this lens. lincoln sky. it is great to have your perspective on the story. we really appreciate it. that is libby lane, kings key of the new israel fund live in new york. thank you. thank you for having me. moving onto the new sound. the un has evidence of violations committed by libyan state security forces and armed militia groups that could constitute war crimes against libyan people and migrants. you and investigators say they believe war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed by both wong science and libya. they documented cases of murder rate and slave ment, extra judicial killings and enforce disappearances. but you and also fond crimes against migrants and official detention centers. some of what you're funded by the european union mom, the trainer, as an tripoli, with war on the findings of either you and investigators. after 13 fields,
