Professor Diskin: "Never was a Haredi extortion"

Constitution Committee discussed yesterday (Monday) proposals to change the fundamental laws of governance laws.

To the committee laid the bill MKs David Rotem and Ronen Hoffman, a proposal that seeks to limit the number of members to 19 government ministers and 4 deputy ministers. Proposal also states that the threshold will be 4% - 2% permanent place in the law today. Proposal seeks to limit the mistrust discussion proposals, and comply with them once a month.

Opposition members opposed to the bill during the debate at the Knesset recess. MKs asked Committee Chairman David Rotem, to postpone the hearing to the Knesset's winter session.
Following the discussion, MK Rotem announced, that the opposition intended to exhaust the idle fiction committee, so it eliminates the continued discussions aimed tomorrow and Wednesday this week. Conference set for next week, will take place as planned.

Prof. Avraham Diskin Institute of Ecclesiastes said: "There is no benefit in raising the threshold. Everything that could be useful, it is raising the threshold to 10% then it will be most powerful, but artificial. Checked and found that from a financial standpoint, what is known among Orthodox notorious blackmailer is not true. Haredi strength was very limited. Contrary, the major parties actually managed to squeeze out more. In the current coalition Prime Minister was forced to meet the demands of a major party, the Habayit Hayehudi Party.

MK Dov Hanin said: "The offer is kind of a long cargo attack at the democratic system. The move is designed to impose a minority clique society. The move is intended to harm the majority rule in Israel. "Hanin called laws of governance proposals "malignant toxic core."

MK Michal Rozin offered to grant the exemption threshold for minorities."Against the principle of governance, there is the principle of democracy." She says, "Price of changes will be higher than the benefits."

Relating to the proposal to limit the bidding mistrust, said MK Uri Maklev that "the days of coalition members, factional opponents were against the Norway law. Since if the law would pass, we would not see more than the ministers in the Knesset. This alienation and distance from the Knesset. Ministers seek to avoid rather than to the Knesset. "He says," The problem of governance is governance officials.

In response to Maklev's claims that such discussions are not having recess MK Rotem asked Maklev, paraphrased exchanges between the Knesset MKs Tibi and Eichler in Arabic and Yiddish, "Can you bring Eichler to say it in Arabic? Maklev replied," Tibi is here, he would say it in Yiddish. "

MK Ahmed Tibi said "raising the threshold, may lead to the disappearance of certain parties. We are all residents of this house, who know why and who is pushing the law". MK Rotem replied to Tibi:" There are permanent residents, and temporary residents. "Tibi also said to Yesh Atid members: "You are drunken with victory and motivated. You should keep in mind that in politics - once you're up and sometimes down. Remember you may need a lower threshold.

MK Orit Struck said: "The bill is not democratic and is intended to silence minority groups."

On the proposal to restrict the mistrust proposals, MK Moshe Mizrahi asked whether government once disbanded due to mistrust, what purpose, other than shut the opposition's mouth?

As mentioned, the bill hearing was postponed to next week.
