Debate continues in two Knesset special committees tasked with preparing legislation for the new government. Amid strong opposition from political rivals, former and current police leaders and the attorney general's office, prospective national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir continues to push legislation to tighten the post's grip over police policy and leadership. Stuck in committee for the past five days, the bill is expected to come for a vote on its first reading as early as tomorrow. In a second special committee, talks continue on advancing changes to existing law to enable the appointment of a permanent additional minister in the Defense Ministry and, separately, to enable a convicted lawmaker to serve as minister.
