Kulanu MKs allowed to vote against PM protection law
Kulanu party leader Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon says he’s allowing his party members to vote however they want on a controversial law that would grant immunity from criminal prosecution to sitting prime ministers.
The bill, known as the “French law” for a similar piece of legislation in the European nation, is seen by many as an attempt to put an end to the multiple criminal investigations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The bill has tepid support among the various parties making up the coalition government and has been widely denounced by opposition parties.
