Knesset panel votes to give itself power to debate Netanyahu immunity
The Blue and White-controlled Knesset’s Arrangements Committee approves a decision to allow it to debate an immunity request by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, should he submit one.
But the decision is subject to approval by Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, of the Likud party. And the panel will await a legal opinion from the Knesset legal adviser on whether it can grant itself the powers normally held by the House Committee, which has been inactive for months due to the political deadlock.
