Knesset rejects bill to fire MK Hazan as deputy speaker
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Knesset plenum votes down a coalition-sponsored bill that would have enabled the suspension of a deputy speaker of the house.
The bill was geared to target the colorful, scandal-ridden Likud MK Oren Hazan, who has been unofficially suspended from officiating at plenum sessions.
Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein has been unable to remove Hazan from his cadre of deputies due to the fact that the current law contains no provision for such an action.
