It made a lot of sense to delay it. When you change the foundation of a countries governing system you can’t do it in the heat of the moment. You have to take things slowly, not just rush it through. If you rush it through, it look very much like an autocratic power grab even if it is actually expanding Democracy. When it comes to things like this it’s all about the optics.
Politically speaking, what has to happen now for the Reforms to go through is the right must hold protests in support of the reforms in a way that will bring international headlines too. -Namely shutting down the country all over again. This will show the world that there is a significant amount of the population that feels that these reforms are actually saving Democracy in Israel, and that the world should therefore stop making it their business as to which way it should go.
