Netanyahu has no choice but to end the overhaul because of the massive strike that includes businesses closing to support the strike. A strike by workers and businesses together is unheard of. Normally businesses are on the opposite end of the strike. This is checkmate for Netanyahu. Once he stops the overhaul, his coalition will fall because the extremists will leave the coalition. He's done.

One choice is suspending the coup for a few months so the public lets their guard down. In the meantime, he can regroup with a propaganda campaign, organize gangs of thugs to deter protesters and purge key positions of any dissidents by simply firing them or by blackmailing them.

Which is why I don't think these protests will stop merely because they postponed the judicial overhaul. The protests are not going away until Netanyahu resigns.
