JERUSALEM, March 23 (Reuters) - Israeli opposition
leader Yair Lapid on Thursday urged "responsible members" of
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party to rebel against
a contested judicial overhaul plan, hours after media reports
that the defence minister wanted the plans halted.
Earlier, Netanyahu summoned Defence Minister Yoav Gallant
for an unscheduled meeting during which Gallant's office said he
briefed the prime minister on the effects of the overhaul plan
on the army and defence establishment.
