Knesset Legal Advisor Sagi Afik opposes the procedural maneuver by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi to rush the media regulation bill through committee, according to Dafna Liel (N12).
Knesset Legal Advisor Sagi Afik has come out against the procedural maneuver by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi to advance the media regulation bill, Dafna Liel reported Thursday. The move comes days after opposition figures criticized the legal advisor for enabling the same maneuver, accusing her of facilitating the coalition's push to end substantive debate. Afik's opposition now shifts the dynamic, though the coalition may still attempt to bring the bill to a final vote in the plenum.
