"Deri's Law 2"

This is one of the prominent laws that will come up for preliminary reading today, it is intended to qualify the appointment of Shas chairman Aryeh Deri to the position of minister, despite his disqualification by the High Court. The opposition raised the demand not to promote the law as part of the conditions for negotiations regarding the legal reform, but minister Justice Yariv Levin rejected it. The bill is signed by more than 40 members of Knesset from all factions in the coalition, and is expected to have a significant majority.

The overcoming paragraph

Another bill is by MK Simcha Rotman, the overriding clause by a majority of 61 members of the Knesset. The proposal states that the High Court can invalidate laws only with a decision of 15 out of 15 judges and they must agree unanimously that the law they sought to invalidate contradicts the Basic Law.

Otherwise, the law will remain in place and will not be invalidated.



The bill by MK Moshe Saada of the Likud, according to which the police investigation department should be separated from the prosecutor's office so that it would be under the minister of justice, is also expected to receive the support of the coalition members, and they will approve it in a preliminary reading.

Law of cancellation of secession

This is the first time that the coalition will promote private legislation in the Knesset plenum, since the government started.

This is also the reason why there are many bills on the agenda in the plenary session, even those not related to the legal reform.

The most prominent of which is the law on the cancellation of secession by MK Yuli Edelstein and other MKs, which states that the evacuation clauses and the bans on staying in the places that were evacuated in the secession plan will be completely canceled.



The proposal arouses controversy in the opposition, and in Vala it was published for the first time about a stormy confrontation in a closed faction meeting of the state camp regarding the manner of voting on the proposal.

Denial of citizenship and deportation of terrorist families

In the shadow of the difficult security situation and the recent attacks, another bill by MK Hanoch Malivitsky of the Likud will come up for approval regarding the denial of citizenship and the deportation of the families of terrorists, if it is found that they knew in advance of the terrorist's intention to carry out an attack or act of terrorism or expressed support and identification with this act. In



addition To this end, the coalition will approve in the second and third reading a proposal by the chairman of the coalition, MK Ofir Katz, according to which the Minister of the Interior will have the authority to revoke the citizenship or residency of a terrorist who was convicted of a terrorist offense and received funds from the Palestinian Authority. The proposal states that the terrorist will be deported to the territories of the Palestinian Authority or the Gaza Strip.

Will put up for approval the proposal that would authorize a search of a house where illegal weapons are suspected, without a court order.

Searching homes for weapons without a court order

Another bill that was unveiled in Vala and will be approved today in a preliminary reading is a proposal that entered the agenda at the last minute, according to the demand of the Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir.

The proposal by a member of his party Yitzhak Kreuzer states that the police will be able to search a house where there is a suspicion that there is an illegal weapon, without a court order.



During the Bennet-Lapid government, a similar bill provoked the opposition of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who said that it was a "North Korea" style law.

Ben Gabir demanded that the proposal be promoted in a quick procedure in order to increase the fight against crime and the phenomenon of illegal weapons in the Arab sector.
