The government is pushing a raft of contentious legislation to shore up support from coalition partners ahead of October elections, according to a Times of Israel daily briefing by political correspondent Ariela Karmel.
The coalition is racing to pass a series of controversial bills before the Knesset dissolves, with the government eager to firm up support from coalition partners ahead of the October elections, according to a Times of Israel daily briefing by political correspondent Ariela Karmel.
The drive follows a period of intensive legislative activity. As The Zioneer reported on June 16, the coalition was already accelerating transformative bills. On July 2, it was reported that the coalition planned to pass a Knesset dissolution bill by July 17 amid concerns over no-confidence moves. The background reports also covered controversies over the broadcast law, the kashrut supervision bill, and the proposed split of the Attorney General's role. The Knesset is expected to dissolve for elections in October.
It remains unclear exactly which specific bills are being prioritized in the current push and whether they will secure the necessary votes.
