Tensions in the coalition ahead of the government debate tomorrow (Sunday) on the Citizenship Law.

Meretz and the USSR are angry over Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked's intention to advance the law, which regulates the issue of Palestinian family unification, with the support of the opposition and threaten that it is a "red line.

" Shaked intends to bring him to a vote in the Knesset plenum this week. Two identical bills by MK Simcha Rotman (Religious Zionism) and Avi Dichter (Likud) from the opposition were attached to Shaked's government bill, in order to mobilize opposition votes and give the left-wing factions in the coalition freedom of vote.

However, Meretz and the USSR oppose the outline for freedom of vote and demand that the understandings regarding family reunification to which Shaked pledged last July be maintained, in talks aimed at resolving the previous crisis caused by the law, before it fell due to opposition from the opposition.

Meretz officials at the weekend described the crisis as a "red line" that could lead to a serious deterioration in coalition discipline.

Meretz chairman Nitzan Horowitz said in the "Meet the Press" program that "Ayelet Shaked is doing a very dangerous way, passing a law in the opposition voices it hurts what led to the formation of our coalition. An outline in which freedom of vote will be given for fear of loosening coalition discipline and demanding that Shaked and Meretz reach an understanding on the government bill.

Shaked has been trying to promote the Citizenship Law again for several weeks, against the background of a warning from High Court judges who demanded to regulate the family reunification application process, which has actually been frozen since the law went to the polls last July. As Rotman to the law, in light of a request from RAAM, followed by Meretz also filed an appeal against Shaked's government proposal.

The appeals delayed the law and prevented it from reaching a vote in the Knesset until a new debate in the government, which will take place tomorrow.

The controversy over Eviatar

Along with the disagreements regarding the Citizenship Law, there are tensions in the coalition regarding the promotion of the Eviatar outline, which is being raged in March.

The faction addressed Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid yesterday in a letter demanding a halt to the training of the illegal outpost.

This, following a legal opinion delivered this week by the outgoing Attorney General, Avichai Mandelblit, which prepares the Eviatar outline on which the government agreed with the settlers in Eviatar last summer in exchange for the voluntary evacuation of the illegal outpost.

The opinion allows the Minister of Defense, Bnei Gantz, to begin the process of declaring the Eviatar area as state land and to promote the establishment of a new settlement on the site using a special planning order.

A letter sent by Meretz to Bennett and Lapid states that "training a criminal outpost deep in the Occupied Territories, one of more than 140 illegal outposts throughout the West Bank, could serve as a slippery slope and harm the chances of a permanent settlement and cooperation with the Palestinians."
