The Knesset Committee on Monday approved the establishment of a committee to discuss Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request for immunity. The committee will have 30 MKs, and will be composed of representatives of all the Knesset factions. MK Avi Nissenkorn will be headed by a white brush. Approval of establishment of the committee requires approval of the Knesset plenum. Most coalition members boycott the vote. 16 MKs and 5 MKs voted in favor of the decision. The deadline for holding the plenary hearing for approval of the resolution.

Earlier in the debate, MK Mickey Zohar attacked the chairman of the committee, Avi Nissenkorn of the Blue and White faction, saying: "You can continue the shame festival. You are holding an illegal hearing."

The sharp exchange between Nissenkorn and Zohar continued during the first speech, with MK Zohar claiming that Nissenkorn was lying about what the Likud party's opposition to his desire to establish permanent committees was.

When he was given the right to speak at the hearing, Zohar declared that his party members would not take part in the debate because he was illegal and said before he left the discussion room "We leave the Knesset in the hands of the committee members and you will do what you want and how you want. Come and say that all the committees are now forming Without the approval of the Consent Committee - kidnapping of the Knesset during an election period. People want to continue the kidnapping process through the Hutu rights and the cancellation of the Consent Committee.

MK Tamar Zandberg of the Meretz Party erupted in the words of Zohar, claiming that he lied and defined Likud's actions as "treachery".

Yoaz Handel claimed that "Until a few months ago Mickey Zohar was sitting in the chair, preaching to us. Now he comes out and cries for the tyranny of the majority. "

MK Ahmad Tibi: "Standing committees are needed. The secondary role of the Knesset Committee is the immunity of Netanyahu, and the first is to establish the permanent committees. Tibi defined Mickey Zohar as a fascist, who defined the Jewish race as the supreme race. "

MK Yizhar Shai of the Blue and White faction said: "An explicit message has come out of Balfour for a while. The war here is not about democracy or the good of Israel, but about pulling time. "

MK Karin Elaharr of a white brush said that "the Likud must understand that the Knesset is still functioning. The fact that we ran for elections does not mean that we cannot act for the most part. It's time to monitor the Likud party. The Knesset is not registered in their name on the taboo. "

MK Shlomo Qarai of the Likud party attacked the committee members and said: "I have no complaint about the left parties. This is their election campaign - attacking Bibi. I do not understand how the legal advisers are handing over the Knesset's precedent, turning this place into a circus and making the discussions here purely political. I am sure that when an affidavit is filed against Gantz about the fifth dimension, I will listen to it openly. We have submitted to the High Court the conflict of interest of the Knesset Attorney General and that is all. You are spending public money here and setting up committees to promote your corruption affairs. "

Nir Barkat: "If we focused on consents we could act for the citizens of Israel. The whole consensus is critical to the Knesset's existence. I think if we violate it, we will hurt this Knesset's function, the one that will come after it and the one that follows. Unfortunately I see the left of the map that cannot To resist the political temptation of dealing with the Prime Minister's immunity. "

Remember, this morning, the Knesset Regular Committee (which manages Knesset affairs during the election deadline) approved that the Knesset committee be set up without the approval of Knesset Speaker July (Joel) Edelstein. In fact, the Knesset passed another step on the way to discuss immunity.

The debate rose to jarring tones, during which committee chairman MK Avi Nissenkorn (blue and white) confronted MK Likud MK Micah Zohar. "You will be forever sealed for making this home," Zohar pleaded at NissanCorn. The Likud member was removed from the debate after interrupting the chairman's speech.

Chairman of the Committee MK Avi Nissenkorn (blue-and-white) decided to convene the committee immediately after the Knesset's opinion was published yesterday by Adv. Eyal Yanun, stating that the Speaker of the Knesset is not allowed to hold hearings on immunity The elections and after the Knesset was dissolved.

Yesterday, Likud tried to prevent Yinon's opinion from being published by the Supreme Court. In a petition filed by Attorney Michael Ravillo, Avi Halevi and Roy Schechter, they asked the High Court to order the Knesset to refrain from submitting the opinion because of the conflict Since his spouse was part of the team that decided to indict Netanyahu, however, a Supreme Court judge rejected the request to hear her body on Wednesday.

MK Nissenkorn said that after the regular committee decides on the establishment of a Knesset committee, the resolution must be approved by the Knesset plenum. Discussion.

Nissenkorn estimated that the discussions on immunity and voting could be finalized even before the elections. At the same time, the Knesset committee intends to discuss MK Haim Katz's (Likud) immunity request, which also sought immunity from prosecution.

Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein made it clear yesterday that he does not intend to "speed up or slow down" the pace of the plenary debate on this issue, and therefore efforts by blue-and-white heads to expedite the establishment of the Knesset committee's approval may be difficult.
