MK Meir Cohen (Yesh Atid) quoted from the 'Unetaneh Tokef' prayer during a Knesset debate on the proposed Basic Law: Torah Study. 'The High Holy Days of the Knesset of Israel. Who will live and who will die,' Cohen said, citing the Yom Kippur liturgy. The debate has been contentious; earlier in the session, a PTSD-stricken reservist disrupted proceedings, according to i24NEWS. The Basic Law: Torah Study, which would enshrine Torah study as a fundamental right, has drawn sharp opposition from secular and ultra-Orthodox factions alike.
