Yamina goes after Likud, Shas after proposed panel to probe judges rejected
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe national-religious Yamina party goes after Likud and Shas after its MK Bezalel Smotrich’s proposal to form a parliamentary committee to probe judges’ alleged conflicts of interests was voted down by the Knesset plenum.
“Why do [you] vote right-wing and get left-wing? Eleven votes were missing to form an investigate committee on judges. Thirteen MKs from Likud and Shas were absent on the orders of [Prime Minister] Netanyahu and [Interior Minister Aryeh] Deri,” the party says in a statement.
“Don’t tell us anymore that you’re really in favor of changing the judicial system,” it adds.
