Looks like it'll be pushed back some. It's good that some reservists protested against it but no idea why the National Guard under "Ben Gvir's ministry" will be established.

Israel’s judicial overhaul legislation will be put on hold until the next session of the Knesset, after the Passover recess in April, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s Jewish Power Party said in a statement Monday.

As part of the deal, a National Guard under Ben Gvir’s ministry will be established, the statement said.

Gvir insisted Monday that the judicial overhaul legislation would still come to a vote in parliament’s summer term.

He added that he had "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's commitment that the legislation will be brought to the Knesset for approval in the next session if no agreements are reached during the recess.”

The Knesset’s summer sitting runs April 30 to July 30.

Netanyahu has not yet commented on a possible delay.
