PM doubles down on suspension bill: Those who back it must vote for it
PM Netanyahu calls on Likud lawmakers who support the so-called MK suspension bill to vote for it in the Knesset later today.
The narrow coalition currently does not have the 61 MKs required to pass the legislation, as two Likud lawmakers are opposed to it.
“I expect all those who say they are in favor of the bill to vote for it,” Netanyahu says at the start of the weekly Likud faction meeting in Jerusalem, according to Ynet. “We cannot give any room or gains to those who encourage terrorism and oppose the State of Israel.”
The prime minister also lashes out again at yesterday’s High Court decision to overturn the deal to develop Israel’s new gas fields, calling it “an erroneous decision.”
