Knesset vote on proposal to up fines for lockdown offenders delayed after Haredi pressure
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA meeting of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation to approve increased fines for lockdown violators has been delayed following pressure from ultra-Orthodox coalition lawmakers.
The decision to push off the meeting means the proposal won’t come before the Knesset plenum today for a first reading.
The Shas and United Torah Judaism parties oppose raising fines for schools that open in violation of the lockdown measures, which many educational institutions in Haredi areas have done.
