The Brotherhood collapses again: An appeal filed today (Monday) by Science Minister Yaakov Perry against the bill that passed yesterday in the Ministerial Committee on Legislation that prevents the release of terrorists has aroused the wrath of Jewish Home Chairman Naftali Bennett.
""A day after the law we introduced to prevent pardons for murderers passed the government, Yesh Atid, through Minister Yaakov Perry, filed an appeal against the law," Bennett said on his Facebook page. He explained that Perry's move meant "a delay in the law until Yesh Atid members withdraw it or until the law is discussed again in the government, instead of the law coming up for a vote in two days in the Knesset.".
Bennett added with a threat: "We will use all the tools at our disposal, including blocking Yesh Atid laws until we pass this law." He said, "There will be no tolerance for political games at the expense of laws essential to the security of Israeli citizens.".
The law's spokesperson, Ayelet Shaked from the Jewish Home, also expressed surprise at Perry's move, as she said Perry had previously expressed support for the law to her and her partner, MK David Tzur.
Perry: The proposal ties the government's hands
Science Minister Yaakov Perry filed an appeal with the Justice Minister against the government's decision. In his appeal, he agreed that "the issue of releasing those who have committed murders, and certainly those who have committed these acts under aggravating circumstances, is an extremely painful and sensitive issue, and it is undeniable that the State of Israel must act with the utmost responsibility and discretion when deciding on such steps. However, this authority is currently vested in the leadership of the state as an integral part of exercising its responsibility for managing political, security, and international affairs.".
""The bill seeks to allow the court to completely tie the hands of the government and its discretion regarding the exercise of its responsibility," Perry argued.
