The Ministerial Committee for Legislation plans to discuss a bill that would require Knesset approval of any future building freeze, on Sunday. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is known to oppose the bill; however, its sponsors, MKs Carmel Shama (Likud) and Uri Ariel (National Union), said that they had received assurances from Israel Beiteinu that the faction’s ministers would support the bill.
