Otzma Yehudit chief MK Itamar Ben Gvir agrees to minor changes to the legislation that is intended to pave the way to his imminent appointment as national security minister.
The changes include requiring Ben Gvir to publish his policies online as well as to report annually on his policies and activities to the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee.
Ben Gvir agrees to the demands, which were pushed for by future opposition MKs.
The bill, which will make the police and its leadership subordinate to the national security minister and allow the minister to set police policy, is expected to soon go to a second and third reading.
