Meretz MK: Compromise being worked on for extending ban on family reunification

Meretz MK Mossi Raz says he does not yet know how he will vote on an extension to a law banning Palestinians who marry Israeli citizens from getting citizenship.

He predicts “another law” will ultimately come up for a vote, but says he doesn’t know what it will be.

“They are working on a compromise,” he tells Channel 12 news.

His comments came after Meretz Minister Issawi Frej said that he wouldn’t back the ban, further complicating the new government’s efforts to reapprove the 2003 law.
