Likud pushes to oust Edelstein from Knesset panel over draft bill, Netanyahu loyalist
MK Hanoch Milwidsky is expected to challenge Edelstein as chair of Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, as PM seeks to push forward contentious draft law expanding exemptions for ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students
A day before the vote in the Likud faction, the Minister of Immigration and Absorption says: "Yuli wanted to see a real conscription law" • Sofer added: "We need to rise above and achieve something real"
Netanyahu considered ousting the chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, but preferred a quiet deal. When Edelstein refused, Plan B was activated: internal Likud elections to be held this week. Within this framework, efforts are being made to convince MKs from the faction to withdraw their candidacies.
