“In the discussion, scientific and technological solutions will be presented and the relevant representatives will be present,” he pledges.

It has yet to be decided whether the session, which is planned to be held as soon as Operation Protective Edge is concluded, will be open to the public or secret, but “it’s the first debate of this kind to be taking place in the Knesset,” he says.
