The Knesset plenum gathered this evening (Thursday) to approve in first reading the bill that would allow the appointment of Shas chairman Aryeh Deri to the position of minister in the next government despite being convicted of tax offenses as well as the appointment of other ministers in government ministries such as that of Bezalel Smotrich to the position of minister in the ministry the security.
The two bills were merged into one proposal, and in order to approve it, the coalition will have to gather a majority of 61 members of the Knesset, this is due to the fact that it is an amendment to the basic law.
Justice Minister Gideon Sa'ar holds a nightly filibuster and is now speaking for the third hour in a row.
Saar Kosher in the government has no time limit on his speech and apart from referring in principle to the bill promoted by the coalition, he brought up many issues in the field of law for discussion such as the future coalition's attack on the legal adviser to the government, attorney Gali Baharav Miara, and even the fact that he supported MK Miki's son Zohar when he competed in the TV's Next Star competition.
Sa'ar's long speech was intended to delay the coalition's vote as much as possible, and meanwhile the members of the Knesset remain in the Mishkan even though it is late Thursday evening.
During the speech, when MK Tali Gottlieb of the Likud repeatedly pointed out the uproar - the chairman MK Yaakov Margi lightly reprimanded her.

Before the debate, two members of the Likud Knesset publicly clashed on Twitter.
MK Dani Danon, who did not come to the hearing, wrote that he was absent from it due to offsets. However, the chairman of the organizing committee on behalf of the Likud, MK Yoav Kish, claimed that the party decided on non-offsets and that Danon must attend the plenum.
"You chose not to To answer calls and messages from me and faction workers, you are not compensated and any other statement is a lie," Kish wrote to him on Twitter. "Get to the Knesset now.
If you're thirsty, drink water on the way." In another tweet, Kish claimed that "the entire coalition is here, including Prime Minister Netanyahu. Not an easy evening with a filibuster of the future opposition."

In response, Danon wrote to him, "I am against this kind of public intra-Yukudi wars. It is not my style. I thought so even when you chose to attack Netanyahu for Gideon Sa'ar and I think so now as well."
He added in another tweet: "I understand the pressure on your part towards the distribution of roles, but I suggest that we leave the debates inside the house. I will stop answering you so as not to let the left enjoy itself at our expense."
