Israel's Netanyahu fires defense minister over opposition to judicial overhaul

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired his defense minister after he warned that a planned judicial overhaul could fracture the country's military. 

Netanyahu's office released a short statement on Sunday saying that the prime minister "has decided, this evening, to dismiss Defense Minister Yoav Gallant."

Gallant, a member of Netanyahu's ruling Likud party, said in a televised speech on Saturday that the judicial overhaul is "a clear, immediate and tangible danger to the security of the state."
