Lapid says right-wing lawmakers bluffing with Amona bill

Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid says the right-wing lawmakers backing the legislation to prevent the Amona outpost’s evacuation know it has no chance of clearing the Knesset.

“It’s not a real law. Those who voted for it know that it won’t prevent the evacuation. Those who voted for this law know it will be shot down [by the High Court]. That’s what they want. They want it to be rejected. Because then they can whine about the Supreme Court instead of doing their jobs,” Lapid says.
