Opposition MKs Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett condemned the coalition on Tuesday evening following the Knesset's approval of the 'arrest exemption' law. Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff, called the coalition 'outrageous' (מופקרת), while Bennett, the opposition leader, described the vote as a 'low point.' The law, which reportedly grants immunity from arrest to certain individuals, was passed by the coalition despite opposition objections. Details of the legislation remain unclear, but the criticism signals a deepening political rift.
