israeli knesset

Behind the scenes, President Isaac Herzog announced that he formulated a proposal of his own to counter current judicial reforms.

With a simple majority, a Knesset would be able to prevent a court from striking a piece of legislation up until a year after the overriding Knesset had been dissolved.

International bodies have been involved in the past in several initiatives that could have led to the indictment or prosecution of IDF commanders and senior Israeli officials in foreign courts, ICC.

MIDDLE ISRAEL: The lying that accompanies the Levin Plan is part of the global war on truth.

At the end of the day, even MKs who argue with one another and accuse one another of destroying democracy, are human beings.

The "Hametz Law" makes it illegal for hospitals to enter or hold hametz (leavened bread) during Passover.

Simcha Rothman: Israel's attorney-general is biased and is manipulating public opinion on judicial reforms.

Herzog called for a halt in the legislative process, an appeal Rothman ignored when he went ahead with the twin votes in his committee. But still, there was some slow movement.

Knesset Health Committee: Israel is not ready for medical crisis that could result from powerful earthquake and would need foreign assistance.

LEGAL AFFAIRS: Israel was supposed to have a constitution. It was in the United Nations resolution 181 and in the Declaration of Independence.
