MK Avi Maoz (Noam) announced Monday afternoon that he will vote against the media regulation bill as currently drafted, saying "I cannot lend my hand to such a move." The statement follows earlier reports that Maoz had threatened in closed conversations to oppose the bill unless reservations on Shabbat desecration are accepted, as The Zioneer reported at 13:19. The bill, which aims to regulate media ownership and content, faces opposition from coalition members over various provisions. The ultimate fate of the legislation remains unclear pending further coalition negotiations.
