The plan backed by the head of new Israeli cabinet Naftali Bennett to extend a controversial citizenship law in the parliament did not meet with the support of all members of the coalition cabinet and failed.
About three weeks after the inauguration of the new Israeli cabinet under Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, the proposal of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the regime, who is the second member of the Prime Minister’s party, failed in the parliament.
According to media reports, the first defeat of the new Israeli cabinet in the Knesset (parliament) took place, and this issue caused the comments about the future of the new cabinet to intensify once again.
“In an early defeat for Prime Minister Naftali Bennett (the occupying regime in Jerusalem), sections of the coalition cabinet opposed a plan (backed by him) and the opposition did nothing to save it,” the New York Times reported. .
According to the report, the new cabinet of the Zionist regime, which has been formed for three weeks, failed in a vote in the Knesset (the parliament of this regime) to extend a controversial law on citizenship.
The plan was proposed by Israeli Interior Minister Ailt Shaked and the second-in-command of the Yamina party, led by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
The bill called for an extension of the pre-existing law banning citizenship or permanent residence for Palestinians living in the Occupied Territories if they marry Israelis.
The proposal of the second party of Naftali Bennett and the Minister of Interior of the Cabinet, with 49 votes in favor and 59 votes against, did not go anywhere. Voting on the bill came after a long night of debate in the Knesset and ultimately failed.
According to the New York Times, the defeat “exposed the rifts in the fragile right-wing coalition led by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.” “Two members of the Ram Arab Arab Islamist Party abstained, and one member of the insurgency and Yamina’s party voted against it.”
The controversial citizenship law was passed by the Zionist regime in 2003 and must be renewed by the Knesset every year. The law was extended for 17 years from that year.
According to the New York Times, “The failure to extend this law reflects the difficulties of managing a cabinet consisting of eight ideologically incoherent parties; “Parties from the left to the right political spectrum, and for the first time in the cabinet of an Arab Islamist party.”
It was on the evening of the 23rd of June that Naftali Bennett won the necessary vote of confidence in the voting held in the Knesset of the Zionist regime. At the vote of confidence, 60 members of the Knesset voted in favor of Bennett’s cabinet, with 59 opposing.
Following the Knesset’s vote of confidence in Naftali Bennett, he was sworn in as the 13th prime minister and head of the 36th cabinet, ending Netanyahu’s 12-year presidency. Yair Lapid also took the oath of office in the Knesset to become the second alternate prime minister in the history of the Zionist regime.
