Summary

After 24 hours of stunning drama in Israel, a special update from Yonit and Jonathan. Join them as they unpack the chaotic timeline - Sunday night's spontaneous eruption of mass protests around the country following the sacking of the defence minister, the general strike by trade unions and bosses and Monday's eventual offer of a "timeout" on the judicial overhaul from Benjamin Netanyahu - and try to determine: was this a climbdown by the prime minister or a chance for him to regroup and weaken the opposition?   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

the Prime Minister, from Benjamin Netanyahu saying,

they are coming out flooding the streets. And, you know, people, I think, who've seen, you know,

movies about revolutions, this is what it looked like. It was just huge and dramatic.
