Kadima MKs slam conversion bill
Kadima representatives at the Knesset's Constitution Committee have sent a letter to committee chairman MK David Rotem (Yisrael Beiteinu) requesting he prevent a vote on the conversion bill scheduled to be held on Monday. The bill acknowledges the Chief Rabbinate's monopoly on conversions in Israel.
MK Yohanan Plesner said, "The bill is in essence an illegitimate political deal grating haredi parties exclusivity on conversions and Yisrael Beiteinu the ability to create a political spin which has nothing to do with supposed conversion easements." (Attila Somfalvi)
