Nine days before the election, the coalition is advancing a series of bills in committee, including a bill to permit gender-segregated studies in academia, the kashrut bill of MKs Deri and Smotrich, and a primaries bill allowing one person to pay membership fees for family members. The bills are expected to be brought to the plenum for final votes.
The coalition is racing against the clock to advance key legislation with nine days left until the election. Today, committees are scheduled to discuss and advance several bills, including the controversial academic gender segregation bill, which would permit separate study programs for men and women in advanced degrees. The bill has been under discussion in the Education Committee. Also on the agenda is the kashrut bill promoted by MKs Aryeh Deri (Shas) and Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionism), which aims to reform kosher supervision in Israel, and the primaries bill, which would allow a single party member to pay registration fees for multiple family members. The coalition hopes to pass these bills in the plenum before the Knesset dissolves for the election campaign. The legislative push reflects the coalition's efforts to secure its policy agenda amid a tight electoral timeline.
