The Knesset Spokesperson's Office said that "in accordance with the decision of the Regular Committee on Elections for the 23rd Knesset and the Knesset's Regular Activities of December 15, 2019, the Regular Committee and the Knesset Committee may hold meetings on matters under their authority, with the approval of the Speaker of the Knesset. At the request of the Chairman of the Regular Committee, MK Avi Nissenkorn, to convene the Regular Committee, the Speaker of the Knesset announced to him that he would meet with Knesset Attorney General Eyal Yanun earlier this week to receive his opinion. The Speaker of the Knesset will then formulate his position regarding the convening of the Regulatory Committee.

Blue and white are furious at Edelstein's conduct but determined to form the Knesset committee. Nissenkorn will try to reach an agreement with the Knesset Speaker, which will allow the process to continue. The party said that "Edelstein's answer is a shameful attempt to prevent the Knesset from discussing Netanyahu's request for immunity. We did not believe that the Speaker of the Knesset would use his state status to make the Knesset Israel a sanctuary city. "

On the other hand, in the Knesset calls for Adelstein not to allow the establishment of the Knesset committee, MK Israel Eichler from the Torah Judaism approached him, stating that "the Knesset committee should not be allowed to propagate." To a political stage instead of real public assistance. If social and vital committees such as the Committee on Public Inquiries or the Welfare Committee are not formed, it is often impossible to establish a political committee. The whole election campaign is intended to prevent the Knesset from turning into a city square for mass propaganda, which is exactly what will happen if the Knesset committee discusses Netanyahu's immunity. "

Earlier this week, Blue and White announced that they intend to convene a regular committee to discuss the establishment of the Knesset, due to Netanyahu's intention to file a motion for immunity from bribery, fraud and breach of trust. The establishment of the committee during a transitional period in which no government requires a majority in the Knesset - a majority that does not have a white blue, in light of Israel's opposition to our establishment in this period. Even if a majority is finally reached, the establishment of the committee also requires Edelstein's approval, subject to the opinion of the Knesset Attorney General.

If Netanyahu submits the request for immunity until a Knesset committee is formed by virtue of a coalition, the indictments against him will remain in deep freeze and not be submitted to court. After a coalition is formed, Netanyahu must obtain a majority of Knesset members' request for immunity from prosecution, and if he does not have a majority - the request will be rejected and he will face the indictments in court.

On Sunday, Netanyahu said that "immunity is not against democracy, but a cornerstone of democracy." Netanyahu, who spoke at the candle-lighting event with Likud activists at the Dan Panorama Hotel in Tel Aviv, attacked Blue and White, saying that "they are confusing the brain all day with immunity, immunity and once more immunity." He added that his request for immunity was from the blue-white propaganda propaganda and their friends. He said, "I don't have time for that. I work for you and for our country."
