Dayanim, Exchange and Cannabis Law: White Nights Marathon in the Knesset
The plenum enters a sequence of 3 days of debates and votes, with the coalition's main challenge being to pass the exchange government law.
The coalition will also try to complete the enactment of the Dayanim Law, after it fell due to the wrong vote of the Knesset Speaker. At the same time, an unusual agreement is expected between the parties on MK Barak's proposal from the Likud.

The Knesset is preparing for another week of sleepless white nights, following a week-long hiatus from the opposition's rigid filibuster regime over the Feast of Sacrifice. Starting tomorrow (Monday), the Knesset plenum will be in a marathon of three days of debates and votes on government and private bills, some of which the coalition has already tried to pass in recent weeks and failed because it did not have a majority.
The most challenging law for the coalition is the Alternative Government Law, which is intended to anchor the parasitic understandings between Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Deputy Prime Minister Yair Lapid.
Since this is an amendment to the Basic Law of the Government, the coalition needs a majority of 61 to approve it - and it takes a full recruitment of each of the hawks to pass the plenum.
Thus, the law was supposed to go to the polls about two weeks ago, but due to the absence of MK Vladimir Beliak Mish Atid, who fell in Corona, there were no 61 fingers and the vote was rejected. In the first reading of the Dayanim Law, another law that the coalition wants to pass this week.

The Dayanim Law determines the composition of the committee for the appointment of Dayanim, and adds another representative from the government - who is to be Minister Zeev Elkin.
The law also increases the female representation on the committee and stipulates that two rabbinical claimants will serve on it (instead of one rabbinical claimant today).
The coalition has already suffered a blow with the Dayanim Law, which fell two weeks ago in a plenum vote due to a wrong vote by Knesset Speaker Miki Levy, and now hopes to complete its legislation in the second and third readings by the end of the week. Exist until next Wednesday, so the coalition aims to end with the legislation this week.

In addition, the coalition will this week promote bills that provoke internal opposition within it.
On Tuesday, the Hotamal Law is expected to be put to a vote in the plenum, extending the activity of the committee to preferred housing complexes (and Tamal) for another four years.
The law provokes strong opposition from environmental organizations and farmers, due to the damage to the open and agricultural areas and both Meretz and Labor demanded that Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked make changes to it.
MK Sharan Hashakel's cannabis law may also go to the polls this week, as part of the private member's bills, but it is still unclear if he will have a majority. Opposition to RAAM and coalition agreements have not yet been reached on the issue.

On Wednesday, the Knesset is also expected to discuss a series of private opposition bills designed to embarrass the coalition that is automatically expected to oppose.
At the same time, there is also an unusual agreement between the coalition and the opposition on a law regarding violence against women - the coalition is expected to support a bill by MK Keren Barak (Likud) to deny the property rights of a spouse convicted of murdering the other spouse. Minister Pnina Temano sailed while a MK in 2018, and the Ministerial Committee on Legislation approved government support for it at its weekly meeting.
This is the first time since the government was sworn in that it supports an opposition bill.
