Defense Minister Bnei Gantz announced today (Wednesday) that the "Dimensions for Studies" law, which will allow scholarships to be released for undergraduate and graduate fighters, will go up for a vote in the second and third readings, although no clear majority was obtained.

MK Mazen Ghanaim of Ra'am announced that his party would not support the bill.

This means that if the opposition factions, including the Likud, insist on not supporting the government proposal, it will fall.



At the same time, Ganz said that he had spoken with opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu and asked him to "shoot them and pass the bill for IDF fighters this coming Monday."

According to Ganz, "We discussed the essence of the bill and its rationale and also its importance to our fighters. I believe and hope that the Likud and the opposition parties will understand the need and allow it to be passed."

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid together with Ganz tried to put public pressure on Netanyahu and the Likud yesterday, accusing them of an alliance with the joint list and "harming IDF soldiers." Lapid sharply attacked the Likud last night, tweeting: "Security, security," and then they stick to the "Dimensions for Education" law, which is designed to help our fighters. " The Likud against the IDF, Bibi against the fighters.

shame".



The Likud responded by saying that they would be willing to support the proposal only if the scholarship was 100% and not just two-thirds, and in any case they would hold a faction meeting before the vote to decide how to vote.

Senior members of the party, Netanyahu and Yariv Levin, believe that the bill should be opposed not because of its content, but because it is a government proposal.

Opposite them, others in the party, such as MK Yoav Galant, claim that non-support for the law will cause long-term damage to the Likud due to the harm to the fighters.
