Likud denies reports that Kulanu won’t back nation-state bill
Likud and several media outlets issue a correction to media reports that Kulanu chief Moshe Kahlon said he would not back the Jewish nation-state bill.
“The reports are incorrect. Kulanu backs the nation-state bill,” Likud party sources say in a statement.
According to sources familiar with the meeting of coalition leaders earlier today, Kahlon told the assembled coalition chiefs that he disagreed with the current draft version of the bill, but that his party would vote for it in its first reading. The bill would then have to be amended in committee before Kulanu could support it in the second and third votes required for it to become law.
