Joining the initiative: Lieberman supports a law that will prevent Netanyahu from serving

The Prime Minister’s Prevention of Crime Initiative Initiative – Recent Updates

• Lieberman: Israel Our House will support the law, along with another law limiting his term to two terms
• The support is expected to provide a majority for the Knesset initiative
• Lieberman’s statement is contradictory from 4 months ago regarding personal legislation
• In white and blue, no formal decision has yet been made on whether to promote the initiative

Lieberman’s support of the initiative is contrary to what he wrote on Facebook about four months ago. “This is a personal law, an approach that we in our home in principle oppose,” he declared at the time. Today, he presented a completely opposite view of things and announced that his faction would support such a law.

The decision reached by the Israel House faction came after MK Ofer Shalek, a senior blue-white senior, announced yesterday that he was considering promoting the initiative and that the joint list and Labor-Bridge-Meretz supported him. Now with the Israel House Declaration, a majority in the Knesset appears to be doing so.

Earlier today, MK Shani Netanyahu attacked for stating that he won the election because “the joint list is not counted.”His official declaration of war on the Jewish and democratic state. “

“There is a majority in the new Knesset for the State of Israel and against the State of Netanyahu,” MK Shalah said. “We will use it without hesitation to decide the campaign on the image of our country. And every person on the Netanyahu block, who heard him yesterday and doesn’t express a deep shock at what he said, should know that yesterday, he is on the wrong side of the campaign. ”

“In Israel, a man who speaks like Netanyahu was a pus to the back of the plenum and the prime minister would come out of the court when he speaks, as did Shamir to Kahana,” added MK Shalah.

“Breaking all the rules of the game”

MK Shelah was one of the leaders of the effort in blue and white to form a minority government after the September elections, but he failed because of internal opposition within his party and also because of the opposition of Israel and our home. This time, with Lieberman’s announcement, the initiative will win the majority in the Knesset.

Shortly after Shalah’s announcement yesterday, Knesset Attorney General Ilan Yanun stated that there was no feasibility of the move before the 23rd Knesset was sworn in. “The Knesset plenum and Knesset committees do not convene in the two weeks between elections and the date of the new Knesset” He explained, “As for private legislation – it is not possible at this time.” In fact, Yinon made it clear that the legislation cannot be promoted until the Knesset swears.

To continue promoting the initiative Gantz will have to get the mandate to assemble the government from the president, so the Knesset regular committee that is supposed to work to advance the law will be in the hands of a blue and white and it can set an agenda there. To prevent this, Netanyahu yesterday asked Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein to prevent the promotion of the law, so that in a blue-blue, they will have to replace the Knesset Speaker if they want to advance the legislation without unnecessary disruption. Likud officials have “very likely” white-blue embarked on an impeachment move against Edelstein and appointed MK Meir Cohen instead. Blue-white say there is such a plan but a final decision has not yet been made. Gantz has not convened the party’s top discussion and decision-making.

In the past, legal entities such as Avichai Mandelblit, have expressed reservations about promoting private legislation during a transitional government, so it is unclear how the center-left bloc will promote such a bill that is considered a private proposal.

The initiative sparked angry reactions among MKs and right-wing factions, including right-wing chairman Naftali Bennett, who claimed it was during a “radical anti-democratic spit in the face of a half-state,” and Shas chairman Aryeh Deri who called the initiative ” And breaking all the rules of the game of the political system. ”

Netanyahu himself attacked Gantz in response to the initiative during the Knesset’s right-wing meeting. “The move that Gantz leads is undermining the will of the voter,” Netanyahu said. “We reiterated that Gantz has joined the terrorist supporters of the Joint List in an attempt to overturn the public decision.” Netanyahu even condemned the attempt to lead legislation before the Knesset inauguration, and for the sake of comparison, hinted that the defense establishment offered him dramatic action before the elections and he chose not to carry it out.

He said that “the people decided 47 against 58. The Commonwealth opposes the State of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people, they are not included in this equation and that was the will of the people. The left camp is 47 seats, and not 54 seats as they say.” He added that “the public gave me more votes than any other prime ministerial candidate in state history. The Likud is the biggest knockout party.” He said, “We got a lot more seats.” He added that “Gantz said before the elections that they would not rely on anything in common, now that he is leaning against it. He is trying to steal the election, it is not democracy.”

Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz stung Netanyahu in response, writing on Twitter: “Bibi, drink a glass of water, wait for the results of the truth and promise to honor them.” MK Tamar Zandberg said in response to Netanyahu’s comments that “Netanyahu’s charts erasing Arab voters are the reason The main thing is to blow this racist to hell. In democracy, the voice of all citizens is equal, even of Arabs, which is why anyone who tries to abolish democracy will learn its meaning well and fly home. ”
