Coalition members are trying to rush through bills as quickly as they can, ahead of the threatened dissolution of the Knesset, N12 reported on Wednesday.
Constitution, Law and Justice Committee chairman MK Simcha Rothman, from the Religious Zionist Party, has accelerated discussion on the bill to split the role of Israel’s attorney-general into three different positions, weakening their political influence, the report detailed.
Rothman plans to introduce the bill for an initial vote in the Knesset sometime next week.
"Godwilling," he said when asked by The Jerusalem Post about this report.
Degel Hatorah spiritual leader threatens to dissolve Knesset
On Tuesday, Rabbi Dov Lando, the spiritual leader of the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Degel Hatorah faction, gave a green light to work toward dissolving the Knesset “as soon as possible” over the haredi conscription bill, in a move that could cause early elections ahead of October.
The opposition has pushed to bring the bill to dissolve the Knesset to the plenum as early as Wednesday, though it is expected to be brought for a vote next week.
Opposition parties Yesh Atid, Yisrael Beytenu, the Democrats, and Ra’am subsequently stated that they were in favor of bringing a bill to disperse the Knesset.
