In an attempt to undermine the delicate coexistence Bennett-Lapid government, the Likud plan to promote a series of private bills in Arab society, in order to embarrass the United Arab List and Meretz coalition's commitment to discipline.

For example, Likud faction chairman, Yariv Levin, re-laid Knesset table A bill seeking to establish the Arabic subject as a compulsory subject in all high schools.

This is a bill that has been submitted in the past and even debated in the Knesset in various incarnations, and is considered a flagship law of Meretz - which is now a member of the government that usually demands to vote against all private bills from the opposition.

The opposition identifies the left wing of the government, RAAM and Meretz, as the weak links, which are under scrutiny from their electorate for sitting in the government headed by a right-wing party.

Last week, the Likud supported the proposal of the chairman of the joint list, Ayman Odeh, to establish a parliamentary inquiry committee to investigate police failures against criminal organizations in Arab society. Zoabi, and at the end of the vote, they received harsh criticism from the joint on how to vote

The bill currently being promoted by Levin, a graduate of Arabic studies himself, was born in the 19th Knesset, in response to Piron's move. Levin initiated the proposal with Issawi Frij, then an MK in March, and today he is a minister in the government, but it did not move forward. , But the proposal never received government support and did not progress. Among other things, due to the principled opposition in the Ministry of Education to the legislature's intervention in the curriculum.

The bill, which is an amendment to the State Education Law, stipulates that "the curriculum of any high school institution in which the language of instruction is Hebrew will also include Arabic studies."

The explanatory memorandum to the proposal states that "this bill aims to help promote understanding and familiarity between peoples, through the study of both languages, both of which are important to be familiar to all citizens of the State of Israel."

It was also determined that "Arabic is their mother tongue of 20% of the citizens of the State of Israel and serves as an official language in the country. Every graduate of the Israeli education system should let him know Arabic, just as it is important that there will be graduates of Israeli school children who could not read, write and speak English"

proposal only It was placed on the Knesset table and has not yet reached the table of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, which will determine the government's position on it.

The Likud estimates that the coalition will not want to promote a proposal promoted by the opposition and that Education Minister Yifat Shasha Bitton will oppose interfering in its powers.
