Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that he would withdraw some of the contentious judicial reform ideas introduced by his administration at the start of the year, which provoked widespread demonstrations.

Following his announcement to overhaul the judicial committee, the Israeli occupation has seen continuing protests.

"That’s basically what’s left — because other things I think we should not legislate," Netanyahu admitted, adding that his government intended on restoring balance.

Netanyahu also claimed that the Israeli economy was "undervalued" and urged investors to join the "smart money" that he said was heading to the occupation.

The Israeli parliament has only enacted one law that tries to limit judges' authority to reject government decisions that they find unjustified. The administration also intended to give the legislature the authority to overturn Supreme Court rulings and to empower ministries to pick their own legal counsel.

Earlier in July, former Deputy Governor of the Bank of "Israel", Zvi Eckstein, warned that "Israel" is on the path of a massive economic decline that will harm all Israelis.

During an interview for the Israeli channel Kan, Eckstein indicated that the judicial overhaul legislation threatens the authoritarian structure in "Israel", as well as the "national" consensus.

Israeli media reported Thursday that the opposition within the Israeli occupation is growing concerned over the possibility of the ongoing protests against the judicial reform law put forward by the ruling far-right coalition birthing a new political party led by key figures from the ongoing protests

Despite Netanyahu's efforts in trying to shift the public discourse away from judicial amendments to other topics like economic improvements, artificial intelligence, and high-speed trains, the headlines continue to focus on the expected tension between the government and the court next month, "Israel Hayom" reported on Thursday.
