"The people and their representatives will never accept a legal discussion about the possibility of a coup.

The restriction was signed by Yariv Levin on behalf of Likud, Aryeh Deri on behalf of Shas, Bezalel Smotrich on behalf of religious Zionism, Itamar Ben Gabir on behalf of Otzma Yehudit, Yitzhak Goldknopf on behalf of Agudat Yisrael, Moshe Gafni on behalf of the Torah Flag and Avi Maoz on behalf of Noam.
