The Deputy Attorney General says the coalition's procedure to transfer the Basic Law: Torah Study between Knesset committees is legally invalid, according to a Ynet report. The opinion could delay the bill's progress.
The Deputy Attorney General has ruled that the coalition's procedure to transfer the Basic Law: Torah Study between Knesset committees is legally invalid, according to a Ynet report. The opinion, delivered to the Knesset, could stall the bill's advancement ahead of the election recess.
The Basic Law: Torah Study, which would grant Torah study constitutional status equal to IDF service, has been a major point of contention. The Knesset Committee previously approved the bill's transfer, as The Zioneer reported, and critics have argued it undermines national service. The Deputy Attorney General's legal opinion now introduces a procedural obstacle that may require the coalition to alter its legislative strategy.
The opinion's full implications remain unclear, and the coalition has not yet responded.
