Opposition members of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee ask Knesset legal adviser Sagit Afik to instruct they be given more time to submit objections to the so-called reasonableness bill, in an effort to push off tomorrow’s scheduled vote to approve the contentious measure for its final plenum readings.
