The coalition is planning to push through nine bills in 84 hours, including the Basic Law: Torah Study and a freeze on arrests of draft-dodging yeshiva students, according to a report. The legislative blitz also covers media reform, kashrut reform, and segregation in academia.
The coalition is seeking to pass nine bills in a concentrated 84-hour period, according to a report. The list includes the Basic Law: Torah Study, a bill to halt criminal proceedings against military draft-dodging yeshiva students, a law splitting the role of the attorney general, a bill permitting gender segregation in academia, kashrut reform, media reform, a regional broadcasting law, and several election-related amendments. The push appears aimed at clearing key legislation before the Knesset disperses for the upcoming election campaign.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the coalition's efforts to advance the Torah Study Basic Law and the arrest freeze bill, which have been central to coalition negotiations in recent weeks. The Basic Law Torah Study has passed through committee and is awaiting final readings. The arrest freeze bill has also been a priority for Haredi parties.
It remains unclear whether the coalition can secure the necessary votes for all nine bills within the tight timeframe. Some measures, particularly the media reform and the attorney general law, have faced opposition from coalition members and the opposition alike. The 84-hour blitz underscores the coalition's determination to enact its legislative agenda before the election recess.
