"I threw that out," Netanyahu said of the override clause. When asked if he would promote a revised version of the clause requiring a super majority, the prime minister said no – "it's out." “I’m attentive to the public pulse, and to what I think will pass muster,” Netanyahu said. After freezing the overhaul in March, Netanyahu's government has been in talks with the opposition in an effort to reach a compromise, which the prime minister says has been unsuccessful. In addition to the override clause, the prime minister told The Wall Street Journal that he'd revise his planned changes to the Judicial Appointments Committee – another controversial part of his planned reform.
