A White Night of Knesset Debates and Votes: Tonight (Tuesday), Knesset members approved on first reading a series of government proposals designed to allow the new Bennett-Lapid government to be formed two weeks ago, including the mechanism aimed at preserving the work of the prime minister and ensuring rotation between the prime minister Naftali Bennett to the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister Yair Lapid.

Opposition members decided to hold a lengthy filibuster in which they spoke one after another, sharply criticized the new government, and the debate lasted until the morning hours, with the aim of exhausting the new coalition.

The first law approved by a majority of 62 Knesset members against 55 opponents establishes a private voting mechanism in government meetings and various ministerial committees and even stipulates that exchanges between Bennett and Lapid will take place even if it is decided to dissolve the Knesset before the end of her term.

"During the night, when he presented the proposal to dissolve the Knesset if the state budget was not approved, there was a plenary confrontation between Justice Minister Gideon Saar and MK Dudi Amsalem of the Likud." 7.5 months you did not bother to approve a budget just to violate an agreement with Bnei Ganz. " "To drag the country to the polls.

You abused democracy.

You dragged after him like rags. "Amsalem replied," You are forced to be good and hypocritical.

The Likud built you, "and Saar said again:" I ran in real time.

I resigned before an election was decided.

You lie and decide you are telling the truth.

I resigned and went to the polls on my own.

I expressed my position in a visible voice in real time. "

Subsequently, the plenum approved the law that would postpone the deadline by which a new government can approve a budget without dissolving the Knesset.

According to the bill, the deadline for approving a biennial budget in the Knesset is November 8, 2021. Currently, the government must approve the Knesset budget law in three readings within 100 days of its inauguration, or three months from the beginning of the year in which there is no budget, whichever is later.

Under the new law, this period will be extended to 135 days not including holidays.

Accordingly, the deadline for placing the budget on the Knesset table will be extended to 85 days from the formation of the government.

The opposition is trying to exhaust the coalition.

Likud members rose one after another to sharply criticize the coalition, calling RAM Mansour Abbas "acting prime minister" and quoting past statements by Minister Lapid and coalition party leaders against bills such as the Norwegian law they approved.

They then approved on first reading the extension of Norwegian law so that it would be possible for more ministers and deputy ministers in the government to resign from their membership in the Knesset and vacate their place in favor of those next in line on the Knesset party list.

Tonight, the plenum approved on first reading the law designed to allow the Likud to split. This is a government law that stipulates that it will be possible to split a party with only four MKs, even if they are not a third of a faction as required by law to date. This is an amendment to a law agreed in the coalition agreements and it was initiated by the government to try to split large parties like the Likud without having to have a third of a faction.

Shas chairman MK Aryeh Deri said it was a proposal that encouraged "theft or deception" and MK Amsalem again criticized Minister Saar whose office promoted the proposal, saying that "splitting in the Knesset is immoral. Such a move is bribery. Proxelance and I despise the world of your and Zeev Elkin's concepts. "

Despite disagreements with the opposition, during the night the coalition even set up one permanent committee in the Knesset - the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, and in accordance with the coalition agreements between the parties, MK Gilad Karib was elected to head it. 10 MKs supported his election and were not opposed.

MK Kariv was elected to the Knesset on behalf of the Labor faction. He is an attorney and a Reform rabbi, who previously served as director general of the Reform movement in Israel. Following this, ultra-Orthodox Knesset members announced that they would boycott the debates he chaired, but did not participate or send party representatives to serve as members. In a committee headed by him.
