President Issac Herzog called on Benjamin Netanyahu, Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid to form negotiation teams that could begin discussions on a compromise proposal for a judicial overhaul after the prime minister announced he would stall his controversial legislation for a few months.
Herzog said he would continue to represent the concerns of civil groups after many were untrustful of Netanyahu's motives and feared his legislative agenda still posed a risk.
