Yeah. After three months of street protests and turmoil inside the military that intensified into a nationwide labor strike yesterday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put the brakes on his plan to take some control over the judiciary.
是的。以色列三个月的街头抗议和军队内部动荡升级为昨天的全国性劳工罢工，总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡停止了控制司法系统的计划。
He's agreed to postpone the move for a month to try to reach a consensus within the opposition.
他同意将这一行动推迟一个月，以便在反对派内部达成共识。
But protesters say they're not ready to give up the fight.
但抗议者表示，他们还没有准备好放弃斗争。

These protests have been going on for months.

But would you just remind us about why so many Israelis have been so infuriated about this judicial overhaul and what made Netanyahu walk it back?

The far right is in power, along with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and his coalition wants to advance ultranationalist religious laws.

And the only ones that would likely stand in their way is the Supreme Court.
唯一可能阻碍他们的就是最高法院。
So Netanyahu has been saying the court should not have all the power that it does have over the elected majority.
因此，内塔尼亚胡一直表示，法院不应拥有对当选多数派的所有权力。
He's been advancing all kinds of laws to try to reduce the court's independence.

But many Israelis in the streets say this is a threat of dictatorship. So Netanyahu has backed down for now.

I spoke with a person familiar with the matter who told me about multiple phone calls on multiple levels between the White House and Israel.
我采访了一位知情人士，他告诉我白宫和以色列之间在多个层面进行了多次通话。
And that may have helped Netanyahu convince his partners to put on the brakes.
这可能有助于内塔尼亚胡说服他的合作党停止改革。
So what's the mood now after all this?
经历了这些，现在气氛如何?
It's really been a confusing morning. In some ways, normalcy is back.

For instance, is the defense minister actually fired?
例如，国防部长真的被解雇了吗?
Netanyahu fired him just a couple of days ago.
内塔尼亚胡几天前刚刚解雇了他。
Is the legislation actually dead?

Those who support the judicial overhaul don't trust that Netanyahu will actually pass it now. This is Amitai Ruskin.

If you delay it, it will never be restarted. It was taken out to the shed, and it was shot.
如果拖下去，立法永远不会重新启动。它会被带到小屋里击毙。
And then I spoke with people who oppose the judicial overhaul, and they think Netanyahu will actually carry it out.
我采访了反对司法改革的人，他们认为内塔尼亚胡会实施改革。
But these protesters are feeling encouraged by their show of force in the streets. Listen to this one.
