The Knesset legal adviser expressed anger at the chief of staff for sending a letter to the media rather than sending a representative to committee discussions on the arrest law and the Basic Law: Torah Study, according to a report by Bini Ashkenazi. The adviser noted that the chief of staff's letter came after the committee had concluded its work.
The Knesset legal adviser has expressed anger at the chief of staff for failing to send a representative to committee discussions on the arrest law and the Basic Law: Torah Study, instead sending a letter to the media. According to a report by Bini Ashkenazi, the adviser noted that the chief of staff's letter arrived after the committee had already concluded its work.
The legal adviser had previously criticized the initiators of the Basic Law: Torah Study for failing to clarify its practical weight, as The Zioneer reported on July 7. The current dispute underscores tensions between the military and legislative branches over the content of the proposed legislation.
The chief of staff has not yet responded to the adviser's remarks. The Knesset is expected to continue debating the two bills this week.
