MK Issawi Frij (Meretz) told MK Zohar in a debate that he opposes raising the issue: "Shame on you, you went back 50 years, this is stage B of the Nationality Law."
Later in the discussion, according to the proposal that is to be put to the vote, four deputies will be appointed to the Knesset Speaker, one from the Likud Bloc and three from the Bloc of Change.
As mentioned, the convening of the committee was delayed due to a debate over the question of how many representatives each of the ten parties that won 9-6 seats in the last election will have, which could determine the extent of the change bloc's influence vis-à-vis the right-wing bloc.
