The Knesset has begun debate on a bill to overhaul the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash). MK Moshe Saada (Likud) said during the session: 'Today we are doing reform. I promised to correct, and I kept my word. There will no longer be criminals in the service of the law and people above the law. Everyone will be equal before the law,' according to N12.
The Knesset plenum opened debate on the Mahash reform bill Thursday afternoon, June 10. MK Moshe Saada (Likud), who promoted the bill, opened the session with a statement that the legislation would eliminate impunity for law enforcement personnel and ensure equality before the law. The bill passed a preliminary reading and was sent to the plenum earlier today, as The Zioneer reported. It is one of three legislative proposals — alongside senior appointments and Torah study — that advanced to plenum votes this week. At this stage no vote results or opposition responses have been reported.
