“Jewish State” Bill vote postponed
Lesson Brief
Ynet
On November 24, Ynet covered the update of the proposed "Jewish State" law. The law would define Israel as a Jewish State as the national home of the Jewish people with the right to national self-determination. Within the political arena, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni is seen to have achieved this postponement, in opposition to Prime Minister Netanyahu's desires. Lapid responded by calling for Netanyahu and the government to stop playing games that harm the country's young couples and soldiers.
