Shaked and Auerbach oppose the removal of Silman from the chairmanship of the Knesset committee: "It is better not to break the tools in front of her"

Even after voting against Kahana's appointment as minister, two members of the right oppose Silman's removal from the chairmanship of the Knesset committee.

According to them, the move will make it act more decisively against the government.

This position is different from that of Bennett, who has previously made it clear that Silman should be ousted immediately after her first vote against the government.

At least two members of the right oppose the removal of MK Idit Silman from the chairmanship of the Knesset Health Committee, even after she voted last night against the government's position on the reappointment of Deputy Minister Matan Kahana as Minister of Religions.

Walla!

It was announced today (Tuesday) that Minister Ayelet Shaked and MK Nir Orbach made it clear in talks over the past day that Silman's removal from office will push her to oppose government proposals more significantly and "it is better not to break the tools", but to try to exhaust all options for further votes. In the future, then you may support the position of the government or coalition.

Shaked and Orbach's position differs from that of Prime Minister and Chairman Yemina Naftali Bennett, who clarified in talks with his party members that in Silman's first vote against the government - she should be removed from the chairmanship of the committee. Final and absolute that she is not part of a right-wing faction.

I suppose it will have consequences. "However, Kahana added that" we will act with discretion and not from the belly. "Now, Shaked and Auerbach's opposition may delay the move against Silman, until a final decision is made in the party. , The two are expected to oppose this as well.

Tonight fell in the Knesset the reappointment of Matan Kahana as Minister of Religions.

This, after the prime minister requested that the vote be an expression of confidence in the government and after Silman voted against the appointment - and for the first time against the government.

A majority in the vote was not obtained after 55 supported Kahana's appointment and 55 opposed.

This is the second defeat for the coalition in less than a day - following a loss in the vote to extend the Judea and Samaria regulations.

The coalition knew that there was a high chance that Kahana's appointment would fall, but insisted on holding the vote to allow the right to advance the move against Silman.

However, no final decision has been made by the party.

After the vote, Matan Kahana tweeted on his Twitter account that it was a "slight blow to the wing."

Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu praised Silman for overthrowing the appointment and congratulated "Silman the Champion."
