The Constitution Committee is holding a secret meeting today (Tuesday) on the international consequences of the legal revolution promoted by the coalition, against the backdrop of warnings from many parties of harming Israel's position in the international arena.
The chairman of the committee, MK Simcha Rothman, convened the secret meeting after the deputy ombudsman for international law, attorney Dr. Gil-ad Noam, gave an opinion in one of the committee's previous discussions on the implications of the legislation on the international level, and said that he could add details in a secret meeting.
The meeting is convened at the request of MK Yoav Seglovic (Yesh Atid). The list of participants in the committee remains officially confidential, but representatives of the security agencies participate in it.
