Controversial virus law could be altered to avoid removing Knesset oversight
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Walla news site reports a potential compromise in a controversial government-proposed law that would make government restrictions to fight the coronavirus outbreak take effect immediately, without Knesset approval.
The report says the legislation will be changed so that instead of the Knesset okaying the measures retroactively, it will have 24 hours to approve them before they take effect.
Opposition lawmakers are reportedly demanding that the period be extended to 72 hours, to enable a “meaningful discussion.”
