Despite Prime Minister Netanyahu's commitment, the Knesset Committee and the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee have not yet announced meetings to advance the law to halt arrests and the Basic Law: Torah Study, according to reports.
The Knesset Committee and the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee have not yet scheduled meetings to advance the coalition's legislative package — including the bill to halt arrests and the Basic Law: Torah Study — despite a commitment by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do so, according to Israeli media reports.
Earlier this week, MK Moshe Gafni (Degel HaTorah) demanded a binding commitment from the Knesset Committee chair before the Torah Study Basic Law vote, saying he would not 'be humiliated again' if the commitment is not given, as The Zioneer reported on June 22. The current status suggests the coalition's legislative timeline remains stalled, with no announced date for committee discussions on either bill.
It remains unclear whether the delay stems from internal coalition disagreements, procedural hurdles, or other political considerations. Neither committee has issued a public explanation for the lack of convening.
