Knesset relaxes dress code pending panel findings

MKs and Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein agree that the Knesset Guard will relax the rules on acceptable attire and not turn away people based on skirt length until a newly formed committee presents its recommendations on the parliamentary dress code.

The meeting follows a protest by parliamentary aides against renewed dress code rules that led to several female employees being turned away over the length of their skirts.

The decision to relax the rules comes after MKs agree to speak to their aides and request that they act with “common sense,” Edelstein’s spokesman tells The Times of Israel.
