Against the backdrop of difficulties in negotiations for unity and in preparation for the Knesset convening, Israeli President Beitano presses Blue and White Speaker and Knesset Speaker • "3 weeks is more than enough to pass the laws"

Stick to the wheels of unity efforts? Israeli House Speaker Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday called on his Facebook account for Blue and White Speaker and Knesset Speaker Benny Gantz to promote five laws that she put on the Israeli House table, including the laws that will prevent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from serving.

Lieberman wrote: "After the fiasco that accompanied us in the last few days, which ended without the establishment of a government (meanwhile), I demand that the Gantz members be allowed to place on Israel's 5 bills on our Knesset and grant them exemption from a discount, while at the same time working to establish a special committee to deal with them:

1. Basic Bill: The Government (Amendment - Termination of Prime Minister's Office in Transitional Government Indicted)

2. Basic Bill: Government (Amendment - Resignation of Prime Minister or Minister due to Indictment).

This is the same bill that was tabled in 2008 by MK Ophir Pines-Paz, and Netanyahu and the Likud faction, Shas, Gaffney and Litzman voted in favor.

3. Basic Bill: The Government (Amendment - Limiting the Prime Minister's term to two consecutive terms).

4. A bill that applies Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley.

5. A bill to be tabled today to repeal section 11 of the Government Basic Law.

Instead of this section, which gives the Knesset 21 days to form a government or it automatically dissipates and is running for election, the Knesset will receive 6 months in which the transition government will serve with limited and clear powers. After six months, unless a government is formed, the president will be allowed to appoint a government of experts consisting of only 18 ministers without deputy ministers, with the ministers not being among Knesset members or members of any party during the five years preceding the establishment of the government.

Gantz's speech is most indicative of his folding

PM's mission: to identify the center of gravity

Responsibility is permissible: Especially now - a unity government is the right thing

Gantz's mandate expired to form a government

I thank Prof. Alex Jacobson of the Hebrew University and Prof. Yossi Shane of Tel Aviv University who were the living spirit in formulating the idea and active partners in drafting the bill. 3 weeks is more than enough to pass the above 5 laws in three readings. There have been quite a few cases in the past where the Knesset passed laws in three readings in one day. Now it all depends on the Speaker of the Knesset Benny Gantz. "

The contacts to the unity government continue

Lieberman's call was made at the same time as talks between the Likud and the Blue and White about the establishment of a unity government, which is expected to continue today. During the night, another meeting was concluded, with the main dispute now centering on the legislative appendices that will regulate the rotation between Benjamin Netanyahu and Gantz.

The Knesset's regular committee is expected to convene today, headed by MK Avi Nissenkorn (blue and white), who is appointed minister of justice. Promotion of those laws may embarrass Gantz and his party members. On the one hand, before the talks opened, blue and white people were among the biggest supporters On the other hand, advancements now, with the parties looking close to concluding, could jeopardize the chances of the government being set up. Benny Gantz's mandate expired tonight, and the Knesset has now entered the 21 days when each MK who obtains 61 signatures can form a government. If that does not happen, Israel will make a fourth election within a year and a half.
