Kahlon says his party will oppose Knesset vote on High Court curtailing bill

Kulanu leader and Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon says his party will oppose High Court curtailing legislation green-lighted by cabinet ministers Sunday.

He claims the Ministerial Committee for Legislation’s decision “breaks the coalition agreement not to pass legislation to damage the rule of law.”

“The Kulanu faction will continue to fight against the supercession law and will not let extreme factions dictate the agenda of the state of Israel,” Kahlon says in a statement.

Kulanu’s representative on the committee, Construction Minsiter Yoav Galant, however, voted in favor.
