Israeli leaders clash over judicial reform proposal, civil war fears rise.

TL;DR Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a compromise proposal by Isaac Herzog on constitutional and judicial reforms that would have replaced the government's controversial judicial overhaul plan. Herzog's proposal included reforms that would have limited the ability of the Supreme Court to strike down certain laws and cancel administrative decisions by the government. It also proposed drafting a bill of rights for the first time since Israel was founded. Opposition leader Yair Lapid welcomed Herzog's proposal, while former Defense Minister Benny Gantz said his Blue and White party fully endorses the proposal.
