The unity government agreement suspends all effort at judicial overhaul. https://www.timesofisrael.com/after-days-of-indecision-netanyahu-gantz-agree-to-establish-emergency-war-government/

Netanyahu says they are planning to go ahead with the changes to the appointment committee:
MKs Edelstein and Dalal said they may not support the reform in its current form. Joining Galant, this brings the government's majority down to 61, requiring only one more to flip to block the reform
@BaryLevy The reasonableness clause was meaningless on the grand scheme of things. Hopefully this victory (along with the left's disproportional response) will make talks between the two sides more productive.
@ShakedKoplewitz https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-66258416 they passed one part of the changes, but it is not either of the parts required for this question to resolve.
@ICRainbow No to 65 votes, unless the govt gets majority control over appointment or dismissal of judges.

It looks like they are intent on passing at least a modified judges bill before Passover break. Coalition would have a majority on the judicial selection committee: https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/20/middleeast/israel-netanyahu-government-climbdown-intl/index.html
