Herzog: Outpost bill will be ‘disaster’ for Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOpposition leader Isaac Herzog slams the outpost bill, warning it would be a disaster for the State of Israel, hours before the legislation is due to be presented for its final Knesset votes.
“The attorney general’s deputies said the courts would not honor the bill as it is illegal,” he tells a meeting of his Zionist Union faction. “Therefore, I call on the members of the coalition, Defense Minister [Avigdor] Liberman and Finance Minister [Moshe] Khalon — you cannot agree to a law such as this. You would be supporting an illegal law and you cannot do that.”
Herzog also urges coalition MKs to “stop tonight’s vote, which would be a disaster for the state.”
