The Likud called the attempt to establish the Knesset committee to discuss the Prime Minister's immunity in the current Knesset "no less brazen and rude." The establishment of the committee, which is almost unprecedented during an election period, needs the approval of the Knesset Speaker. Likud Speaker, MK Zohar: This Knesset has been dispersed
Likud goes against the Blue and White initiative to thwart immunity: "Will not break Edelstein"
Edit: Saul AdamLess than 12 hours since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request for immunity from the Knesset, Likud (Thursday) goes into battle against Blue-White's move to thwart Netanyahu's request by establishing a Knesset committee to discuss it during an election period, despite the establishment of a committee during such a period Is almost unprecedented. The establishment of the Knesset Committee requires the approval of Chairman Yuli Edelstein.
Likud MK Speaker Mickey Zohar has hinted that Edelstein does not intend to approve such a move. "It's clear to us that white blue won't hesitate to try to hurt Edelstein in July," he told Walla! NEWS, explaining that this was "due to their firm adherence to their impertinent demand. From my much acquaintance with him, I'm pretty sure they won't be able to break it." Zohar said this in light of the Knesset's procedures that require the chairman's approval to convene the regular committee or establish a new committee during this period. Zohar also referred to the very intention of Blue and White, with Lieberman's support, to advance the move and claimed that "the hatred of Blue and White Netanyahu blinds them. "

He said, "The desire of a white and white to hold even more in this Knesset, a discussion on the PM's request for immunity, is no less brazen and rude. Netanyahu is political, simply shameful. The agreement committee was set up to prevent the Knesset from using it for political purposes and they are completely ignored, so it is clear that the discussion of Netanyahu's case will serve the political blue and white in their relentless attempt to thwart the right-wing candidate for prime minister. "
"They simply ignore any democratic principle and are willing to overrule everyone to realize their hatred. The truth is that it reminds me of the 'merry' Mapai days in which the Left maliciously harassed the Right to realize its whims."

Prime Minister Olmert announced yesterday his intention to appeal to Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein to request parliamentary immunity from prosecution - a request that should only be discussed by the Knesset committee, which is not currently working in the light of the political plunder.
Knesset Spokesperson, Adv. Ilan Yanun, clarified a month ago that "even if at this time there is no legal obligation for the Knesset to establish the Knesset Committee, For the establishment of a permanent Knesset committee at this stage, I do not believe that there is a legal impediment to do so. " Therefore, following Lieberman's announcement that he would support the establishment of the committee, there is a majority for the Knesset and will apparently be established, subject to Edelstein's approval.
MK Blue Aviation Chairman Avi Nissenkorn asked Edelstein to approve the committee's meeting, but the latter responded that he was staying abroad by the end of the week, and before considering the committee's meeting, he would like to hold a meeting with him. Scheduled for tomorrow is postponed to an unknown date. On Sunday, Nissenkorn will meet with Edelstein and the Knesset to discuss the establishment of the committee.
