Coalition Chairman Ofir Katz's bill on fortification passed today (Wednesday) in preliminary reading.
According to the proposed law - impeachment of a prime minister will only take place in the case of the prime minister's physical or mental inability to fulfill his duties.
The new law clarifies the existing situation and states that only the government and the Knesset can establish fortifications without the consent of the prime minister and under what conditions.
"Unfortunately for the unelected parties, in a democracy the voice of my grandmother from Afula is equal to the voice of a learned jurist from Tel Aviv," said the initiator of the law, coalition chairman Ofir Katz. "They think we stole the country from them."
One of the prominent opponents of the proposed law is Gali Beharve-Miara, the legal adviser to the government.
According to her, the nature of the law creates a "black hole" that is not a solution.
"The arrangements contained in the proposal give rise to legal and practical difficulties, which require reference and completion" wrote Beharve-Miara in her opinion that is contrary to the law.
"First of all, there is a difficulty in narrowing down the situations based solely on the lack of physical or mental capacity, while changing from the existing law that recognizes other possible situations, in extremely unusual and extreme circumstances and on the basis of a heavy evidentiary infrastructure."

The declaration of impunity will be made by the Prime Minister, or the government with a majority of 75% of its composition.
In the event that the announcement of Nebtsara is contrary to the opinion of the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the Knesset will forward the decision to the Knesset plenum for approval, which will be able to approve the announcement by a majority of 90 members of the Knesset.
Katz added: "To all the unelected parties who are trying to make a governmental coup here under the guise of the slogan 'rule of law' - the people and the people's representatives appoint the prime minister, and only they will change their choice. Unfortunately, in a democracy, the voice of my grandmother from Afula is equal to the voice of a learned jurist from Tel Aviv.
"They simply cannot see us in power, cannot accept the results of the elections, they do not accept the fact that the majority of the people do not think like them, and do not align with the elite. They think that we stole the country from them. Today we implement democracy and make sure that the will of the people is realized."
In the meantime, the law on the death penalty for terrorists was also passed today.
The Shas party voted in favor of the law, despite the ruling of the chief rabbi against this type of anisha - members of the Jewish Torah party were absent from the vote.
