Elkin: Coalition factions may veto MK allegiance law
None
Coalition Chairman Zeev Elkin (Likud) said that a discussion will be held Monday on the proposed bill which will require MKs to swear allegiance to the "Zionist, Jewish and democratic" State.
"Any faction can veto an amendment that changes a Basic Law," Elkin said. "If a coalition faction vetoes this proposal, we won't be able to advance it." (Amnon Meranda)
