Opposition lawmakers on the Knesset Communications Committee submitted a full letter to the Knesset legal advisor this morning, demanding she halt the communications law, citing alleged procedural violations, according to N12's Amit Atias. The letter provides the complete text of the opposition's demands, following earlier reports that the demand was made.
Opposition MKs on the Knesset Communications Committee submitted a full letter to the Knesset legal advisor Monday morning, demanding she halt the communications law, according to N12's Amit Atias. The letter provides the complete text of the opposition's allegations of procedural violations, including claims that Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi submitted substantive wording changes less than two hours before the committee debate.
The submission follows a report earlier today by The Zioneer that the opposition had made the demand. The law has been a flashpoint in the Knesset for weeks, with opposition MKs ejected from committee debates and allegations of procedural failures and foreign interests influencing the bill's text.
The Knesset legal advisor has not yet publicly responded. The plenum is scheduled to vote on the law later today, with the opposition vowing to challenge the legislation in court if necessary.
