The Likud agreed this evening (Thursday) to the demand of Otzma Ben Judith Itamar Ben Gvir to enact a death penalty law for terrorists - and it is included in the coalition agreement agreed upon between the parties. Ben Gvir even insisted that the agreement include a deadline for approving the law, and that it would be a condition for approving the 2023 budget, which the coalition The future must be approved by the end of the upcoming session in March-April.
This is one of Ben Gabir's election promises, as part of the campaign against terrorism and governance - and a law that has already agitated the political system more than once in the past. In its previous version, which was promoted by the chairman of Israel Beitenu Avigdor Lieberman - This requirement was included in the coalition agreements for the Netanyahu government in 2016.
However, Netanyahu texted the promotion of the law at the time, due to political and legal considerations.
The Likud also committed to the ultra-Orthodox factions to promote the Basic Torah Law before the budget, which is intended to bypass the Supreme Court's instructions regarding the conscription law - which the Likud also committed to pass before the budget. It can be concluded that the agenda of the coalition in its first months will be very busy, and it is not inevitable that some of the coalition's laws and commitments will be prioritized and postponed to a later date. However, since Ben Gvir accepted his demand to be an acting Ministerial Committee for Legislation, and was given a limited veto right for a limited period on certain laws - he will be able to use this for leverage and rapid advancement of his proposals.

Ben Gvir also informed that the Likud agreed to his demand to amend Section 7A of the Basic Law of the Knesset, and to remove the section of incitement to racism as a ground for disqualifying candidates for the Knesset.
This will make it easier for former Otzma Yehudit members Baruch Merzel and Michal Ben Ari - who were disqualified by the High Court of Justice due to their racism towards Arabs. In addition, Otzma Yehudit informed us that the coalition agreements will include, among other things, Ben Gabir's demands to enact an immunity law for IDF soldiers and members of the security forces , and a law with a minimum sentence of three years in prison for agricultural crime and the collection of sponsorship fees.
In addition, as published in Walla, an additional section was accepted stating that a special unit will be established in the Shin Bet for the purpose of dealing with crime in Arab society, and that the government will promote a ban on flying PLO flags in institutions supported by the state or local authorities.
Agudath Israel today published the full document of the agreements with the Likud - which include nearly 140 sections, most of them in the fields of religion and state.
The agreement gives Torah Judaism the right of veto on matters of religion and state, and includes commitments to the budgets for ultra-Orthodox education, increasing yeshiva budgets and allowances for children, canceling the previous government's reforms in kosher, cell phones, and disposable utensils, a law overruled by the Supreme Court in the case of the women of the Western Wall, and a commitment to amend the grandson section of the Law of Return - Despite Netanyahu's statement this month that the Sabbath law will not be changed, the agreement also states that the government will work to correct cases where the status quo is eroded in the field of Shabbat, to change the law against discrimination in the public sector so that events in segregation are not considered prohibited discrimination, and to promote actions to ban the introduction of sour cream into hospitals. The agreement also includes commitments to budgets and programs in the areas of employment, housing and transportation in the ultra-orthodox sector.
