Shaked: Family Unification Law Vote Scheduled Monday

Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked announced Sunday that the family unification law will be voted on tomorrow, despite not having a coalition majority for approval.

Left-wing party Meretz and Islamist party Ra’am -- both coalition partners in the Lapid-Bennett government -- have stated they would oppose the law, but members within the coalition are counting on Likud and Religious Zionism faction lawmakers to support the legislation or abstain so it could pass.

Meanwhile, discussions with opposition sources continue in an effort to come to an understanding.

“The temporary order expires on Tuesday, which is why it has to go to vote tomorrow,” Shaked explained in the Knesset (Israel Parliament), adding she does not believe opposition members would vote against a bill that is in the interest of preserving the Jewish state.
