Having arrived after the start of voting on objections to the “reasonableness” bill, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has begun voting with the coalition, dispelling any notion he would rebel against the government.
Each of the objections to the bill is now being voted down by all 64 coalition members, against 56 opposition votes, with all coalition and opposition lawmakers present in the plenum.
