There is no quiet moment in the Knesset:
In an interview with News 12 tonight (Sunday), Justice Minister Gideon Saar said that he is fully in agreement with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett regarding the bill that the president will not be able to impose the role of government train on criminal defendants in the future.
He added that the Ministry of Justice is also working on the Priesthood Restriction Law, which essentially stipulates that the Israeli prime minister can serve only eight years in office.
Saar also said that if these laws are passed and passed, they will take effect from the 25th Knesset.
As you may recall, last March he opposed the passage of the law in the current Knesset, saying that "the rules of the game are not being changed in the middle."
Recall that in 2019 Saar vehemently opposed the law.
When asked what made him change his mind: "I thought it was wrong to legislate in circumstances that were personal legislation, but today I see the actual situation of the Netanyahu tribe - even though I advocated the priesthood under an indictment before the High Court ruling - last year I see, in fact he can not To serve, even though he is legally allowed to. "
The Likud party was quick to respond to Saar's remarks: "Even without glasses, Gideon Saar sees that he does not pass the blocking percentage."
