Opposition MKs are demanding a secret ballot on the parliamentary immunity request of MK Tali Gottlieb, according to Israel Hayom. The demand comes as the Knesset committee debate over the immunity request continues.
Opposition Knesset members are demanding a secret ballot on the parliamentary immunity request of MK Tali Gottlieb, Israel Hayom reported Monday evening. The demand reflects ongoing friction over the immunity proceedings, which stem from Gottlieb's alleged exposure of a Shin Bet officer's name. The Knesset committee had previously debated the request in an open session. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, opposition coordinator MK Merav Ben Ari confronted Gottlieb during that debate over the Shin Bet officer exposure allegation. The secret-ballot demand, if accepted, would change how the final vote is conducted, though the ultimate decision rests with the House Committee. No decision on the demand has been reported yet.
