The Likud and the blue do not reach agreement on the distribution of delegates to the Regulatory Committee • Following this, the right-wing bloc announced that they would boycott the vote • Live broadcast

The 23rd Knesset will discuss Monday with the approval of the proposal to establish the regulating committee that will be the body to initiate its activities.

Regarding the establishment of the regular committee - the two main proposals are of blue and white and the Likud. MK Blue Aviation Chairman MK Avi Nissenkorn put forward a proposal that the committee would appoint 17 MKs, of whom 9 representatives of the Blue and White and the center and left parties and 8 MKs will be representatives of the Likud and the right-wing bloc. Likud Chairman MK Mickey Zohar put forward a proposal that four committees (a series committee, the US, the finance and the Corona virus committee) will be set up, headed by three (with the exception of the funds) and two will be blue and white, most of them Of 5 against 4 Likud representatives, and the regulating committee will be private (ie, the same number of MKs from White Brush and Likud). He added that he would agree that white blue would also be a majority on the regulating committee, but provided that it undertook not to act to promote political legislation until the government was formed).

However, the right-wing bloc will boycott the discussions. MK Mickey Zohar (Likud) tweeted tonight: "In light of the unilateral behavior of Blue and White and their friends, the right-wing camp on all fifty-eight (58) members decided to boycott the plenary tomorrow. Throughout the years of existence of the State of Israel and in all 22 revenues established there, there has never been a situation where voting in the plenary brings about the establishment of the regular committee and the additional committees without consent.

"Sadly and in blue-and-white embarrassment, this dam has also been breached in their amok run by Prime Minister Netanyahu, who runs from morning to morning for all Israeli citizens in the fight against the poor Corona virus of all Israeli citizens. We regret the dictatorial approach of Yair Lapid and Avi Nissenkorn, no doubt access This will lead them further into a doomed democratic failure. "

In light of the unilateral behavior of Blue and White and their friends, the right-wing camp of all fifty-eight (58) members decided to boycott the plenary tomorrow.

Yesterday, Netanyahu reiterated that replacing the Knesset Speaker would end attempts to form a unity government. Earlier, Likud officials said that the impeachment of the Knesset Speaker would eliminate the unity government and inevitably lead to a fourth election. It would be a shocking irresponsible step during the global corona epidemic, which has not been the same for the last 100 years. "Earlier, Likud members of National Camp Knesset members signed MK Likud MK Micah Zohar's word on the main principle: a blue-white mother The Speaker of the Knesset - there will be no unity. If they promote undemocratic legislation against Prime Minister Netanyahu's candidacy - we will not run for election.

Yesterday afternoon, Knesset members Abi Nissenkorn and Ofer Shelah met in the Supreme Court hearing in the petition to allow Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein to resign. Blue and white has been added to the discussion of the movement for the rule of quality on the subject. Speaking at the hearing, Nissenkorn said: "I hope the court will decide tonight (last night) that the wishes of most Knesset members should be honored in democracy, and that a vote on the election of a permanent Knesset chairman be made immediately."

Another voice on the blue and white list. The right marker on the list, MK Yoaz Handel, tweeted: "I do not know what is good for the party, know that the State of Israel is good for unity."

It is still unclear whether the Knesset will also discuss the election of a new Knesset Speaker, because the issue is not included in the agenda of the Knesset hearings today, but the High Court may require the Knesset to discuss it.

Blue and White Chairman MK Benny Gantz said last night: "As I promised, tomorrow (ie today) we will run the Knesset for the citizens of Israel. Israeli democracy will never be the host of small politics and will not be subject to any negotiations."

At least 7 MKs are in isolation because of concerns about the Corona attack, of which 5 are from the coalition and 2 from the opposition (Ministers Aryeh Deri, Tzachi Hanegbi, Bezalel Smutrich and Deputy Minister Yitzhak Cohen and MKs Ram Ben-Barak, Alon Schuster and Moshe Abutbul). The Knesset CEO and Knesset officer last night contacted MKs who are in isolation and asked them to act responsibly, not to violate the Ministry of Health's directives and not reach the Knesset's premises, thereby endangering their colleagues and Knesset employees. The Knesset has made it clear that despite this, a number of options are being considered, the purpose of which is to find a solution that will allow them to reach the Knesset without endangering the environment, but this will only be done if it is approved by the Ministry of Health. At any given time, you will be allowed 10 people in the plenum. The votes will be made in groups of 6 MKs at a time according to order B. In connection with the discussion of committees, four committees will be set up at this stage: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Defense, the Finance and the Corona Committee.
