The Ministerial Committee for Legislation on Sunday struck down a Bayit Yehudi bill seeking to block Israel's future release of Palestinian prisoners in connection to peace talks. The bill, proposed by Bayit Yehudi MK Orit Struck, was opposed by eight ministers from Likud, Yesh Atid and Hatnua. Five ministers from Bayit Yehudi and Yisrael Beytenu supported the motion.
