Tensions in the coalition continue:
MK Gabi Lasky of Meretz has decided to withdraw the defendant's bill from the agenda of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation.
Lesky received a request from the Prime Minister's Office to remove the bill from the committee's agenda.
Under the bill, the craft of assembling a government will not be imposed on a candidate against whom a criminal investigation has been opened or who has been convicted of a crime, even if it is determined that this is not a sign of disgrace.
MK Lasky responded: "Unfortunately I am forced to withdraw the defendant's law from the Ministerial Committee.
From conversations I received from Bennett's office it became clear to me that the law would not be passed in committee tomorrow.
"I do not intend to give up. Instead of burying the law in committee, I will continue to work to get all members of the coalition to support this proposal - until we succeed!"
As you may recall, about two weeks ago it was published in "Israel Today" that the law restricting tenure fell from the chapter of the day, this is because the opposition turned the bill into a no-confidence motion, which led to the joint list refusing to support the law.
Before the Knesset went on hiatus, the coalition passed the Restriction of the Law on Second Reading.
Prior to the third reading, the opposition turned the vote into a no-confidence motion to deny mutual support.
In light of this, the coalition decided to withdraw them from the bill.
According to the bylaws, in order to repeal the repeal of the law and continue the legislative process in the third reading - the government had to announce that it wanted to continue the legislative process.
Because the plenum was closed then and in light of the failure to form a majority, the government did not announce that the law would go to a vote.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
