Pressure continues on the coalition parties to support the outline of the Citizenship Law, which will be put to a vote in the Knesset tonight. Secretary of State Shalom Shlomo met in the Prime Minister's Office with members of the Knesset of RAAM in an effort to reach understandings around the law.

A party source told Walla! After the meeting with the Secretary of State: People it numbers? What are certificates for 1,600 status applicants? Do you do a lottery here? All other people are not worthy of a solution? We will vote against unless a real proposal for a real solution is brought to us. "

During the day, talks took place between Shlomo, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked and Meretz members, during which we will examine an outline based on the compromise presented by Minister Issawi Farage, according to the law. A committee will approve humanitarian cases brought to its doorstep. The proposal also includes immediate status approval for 1,600 status applicants. According to coalition sources, positive progress has been made in the talks but it depends on understandings with the PM.

At a meeting of the Labor faction, it was decided to support the law together with the coalition, but MK Ibtisam Maraana was allowed not to support the law unless agreements were reached with Meretz and Ra'am.

In March, they announced that they would decide at night in accordance with developments and compromise talks in the coalition.

Earlier the factions held consultations on how to vote tonight in the plenum.

At a meeting of the Likud faction, it was decided to hold a vote later in the evening in which it will be decided how to vote.

It is estimated that most Knesset members in the party support the possibility of opposing the law.

Party chairman Benjamin Netanyahu told MKs during the meeting that he tended to oppose the law, arguing that "it is not just a law. It is a law that exposes the fault line of this government that aims to advance anti-Zionist agendas."

The chairman of the opposition later spoke in the plenum, during which he attacked the government, led by Bennett and Shaked. "In fact, they depend on anti-Zionist elements who oppose Israel as Jewish and democratic. They turn to us after they have cooked this porridge, and want us to eat it? They say 'take responsibility.' Where is your responsibility when you form such a government?

On their efforts to pass the Citizenship Law he said: "Bennett and Shaked cooked the porridge, and now they want us to eat it?"
