Will Likud recommend Bennett? Direct election law will reach the organizing committee tonight

May 4, 2021   

Hours until Netanyahu's mandate expires: This evening (Tuesday), the Likud will bring the law for direct election of the prime minister to the organizing committee, with the aim of bringing the law to a vote in the Knesset plenum tomorrow.

What are your chances of winning a duplex? And why is your dream closer than ever? Free: How much money are you losing because you don't know what your rights are? The coronavirus outbreak is on the decline, but a mask is still required in closed spaces. Remember? The organizing committee is expected to convene at 5:30 p.m. Likud is trying to form a majority for the law for direct election of the prime minister and is considering bringing it up today in the organizing committee - if they succeed. Yamina says they have not yet decided how they will vote. If there is no planning for this, Likud may give up on the move.

Additional laws brought to the committee: Disengagement Plan Cancellation Law, Death Penalty for Terrorists Law, Overcoming the Threats Clause Law, and more.

According to a report in 'Kan News', this morning, Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin said in a closed conversation with ultra-Orthodox MKs in the Knesset that his faction, the Likud, will likely recommend Bennett to receive the mandate.

At the party, Sa'er was asked to recommend that Bennett accept the mandate - and at noon, "New Hope" will hold a discussion on the subject.

However, President Reuven Rivlin is expected to hand over the mandate to Yair Lapid or back to the Knesset. A senior official in the President's Office told Israel Hayom: "There will be no further round of consultations. Anyone who wishes will be able to convey their position. The President will receive the picture of the situation based on everything he sees before his eyes - conversations with representatives of factions who will ask him for a meeting, political assessments and his entire picture of the situation.".
