Controversial law on Palestinian family reunification to go up for vote next Monday

Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked says the extension of a contentious measure barring Palestinians with Israeli spouses from acquiring Israeli residency will go up for a vote in the Knesset on Monday of next week.

The vote had been planned for tomorrow, but the government is scrambling to find a way to pass the measure, with left-wing coalition parties opposing it outright and right-wing opposition factions pledging to reject it in order to challenge the coalition.
