Israel is forming an emergency government and war management cabinet, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Unity Party leader Benny Gantz jointly announced Wednesday.

Gantz, a former defense minister, will join Netanyahu and current defense minister Yoav Gallant in a “war management cabinet,” the joint Netanyahu-Gantz statement said.

The government will not pass any laws or make any decisions that do not concern the conduct of the war, the announcement said.

That implies that the controversial judicial overhaul will not move forward while the emergency government is in place.

There has been no indication that opposition leader Yair Lapid and his Yesh Atid party are joining the government.
