MKs

A bill to ban Red Cross visits to Palestinian prisoners failed due to a boycott by Haredim. The coalition chief reportedly urged opposition MKs not to oppose the measure, but his request was rejected. Ben Gvir criticized Shas for boycotting the vote, highlighting tensions between the parties.

The High Court criticized the process used to elect the state comptroller, suggesting it may intervene. The court deputy president questioned whether the word 'secret' should be removed from the state comptroller law, while the government argued that MKs who recorded their votes acted within legal bounds.
