Minister of Jerusalem and Heritage Ze'ev Elkin stated he will vote to grant MK Tally Gotliv parliamentary immunity, arguing that MKs have the right to expose what they believe is the truth, after which the debate over what constitutes the truth can take place. Elkin's position comes ahead of the full Knesset plenum vote on Gotliv's immunity, following the House Committee's approval on Monday.
Minister Ze'ev Elkin announced his support for granting MK Tally Gotliv parliamentary immunity, saying MKs have the right to expose the truth, after which the debate over what constitutes the truth can take place. The statement comes ahead of the Knesset plenum vote on Gotliv's immunity, which the Knesset House Committee approved 11-3 on Monday, as The Zioneer reported. Likud has mandated mandatory attendance for coalition lawmakers for the Wednesday vote. The immunity request stems from a case in which Gotliv allegedly revealed the name of a Shin Bet officer, which the Shin Bet said endangered a senior service member and his family.
