MK Simcha Rotman, leads the bill,
MK Simcha Rotman announced that the Basic Law on Immigration will be put to a vote in the Knesset plenum on Wednesday, after Minister Shaked succumbed to pressure from the coalition and refused to withdraw from the dangerous commitments she made to RAAM and Meretz in the Citizenship Law.
The commitments made included in the first phase approval for the unification of thousands of Palestinian families in Israel.
Minister Shaked refused MK Rotman's proposal to enact a citizenship law while setting quotas and transparency in the Knesset.
The amended Citizenship Law might have prevented the advancement of previous agreements with RAAM and Meretz.

On behalf of MK Simcha Rotman, it was stated: "I agreed to postpone the vote on the Basic Immigration Law this week, after seeing a willingness on the part of Shaked's environment to reach understandings on the issue.
I asked for a total of one request.
Shaked and the other members of the coalition must decide whether they want to promote a Zionist and national law, and then give it a go - or promote a law that Mansour Abbas will be whole with, because it allows him to receive "with authority and authority", trucks of permits And a quiet 'right of return'.

"Shaked chose to remain committed to RAAM and Meretz, even though we gave every opportunity in the world, and we tried to reach agreements.
On Wednesday, I will put to the vote the Basic Law on Immigration, which will stipulate in the law a ban on family reunification, a ban on granting citizenship to terrorists and the entry of BDS activists, and will de facto deny the right of quiet return.
I call on everyone who still considers themselves a Zionist in this Knesset to vote in favor. "
The Minister of the Interior, Ayelet Shaked, responded: "There were fruitful and useful negotiations with MK Simcha Rotman, in which we reached the following conclusion: First, the Basic Law on Immigration will be rejected and a team will be established in an agreed wording. Second, MK Simcha Rotman and MK Sharan Hashakel will submit a private member's bill to the Citizenship Law, which will be attached to the government proposal. "The loophole it created. I'm sorry they chose to prefer petty political considerations over national and security considerations."
In the neighborhood of Ayelet Shaked, they told "Israel Today": "Ayelet Shaked and Simcha Rotman reached agreements. Rotman understood that not passing the law was a mistake. He made sense, but failed to bring the opposition with him. - who did not want to give victory to the coalition. "
Despite all this, the law is expected to go to a preliminary reading tomorrow.
The chairman of Religious Zionism, MK Bezalel Smutrich, on Shaked's refusal to withdraw from her commitment to Abbas: "As expected, and unfortunately, Ayelet Shaked surrendered again to Meretz and the Islamic movement. Citizenship.
"During the negotiations in recent days, we agreed to waive all our demands, except for the demand that Shaked withdraw from its obligations to Abbas, to authorize thousands of families to enter Israel under the auspices of the law.
Shaked once again prefers the political survival of the government, over the most important national interests of the State of Israel.
It therefore succumbed to the demands of Mansour Abbas.
In the current situation, the Citizenship Law, if enacted as it is, will give the RAAM, which holds the government by the throat, the keys to the right of return. We will not be allowed to do that. "
