The Knesset votes 62-52 to advance legislation that would move the Police Internal Investigations Department to within full control of the Justice Ministry.
The bill, submitted by Likud MK Moshe Saada, a former deputy head of the PIID, will now move to a committee before returning to the plenum for three more readings before it can become a law.
The legislation is linked to an overall push by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to make the Israel Police more subordinate to the government.
