United Torah Judaism told the coalition Monday that its faction will vote unanimously against the authority-transfer clause and the Local Councils Ordinance amendment if those items remain on the plenum agenda, according to N12.
United Torah Judaism's announcement adds a condition to its opposition: the faction will block the two legislative items only if they remain on the Knesset plenum's agenda. The party has been at odds with the coalition over various bills in recent weeks, including the broadcast law and police search authorities. The development further complicates the coalition's legislative agenda, which already faces opposition from Shas over draft-related issues.
