Coalition chairman: Allow free vote on IDF conversions
None
Coalition chairman MK Ze'ev Elkin says he wants to allow MKs to vote freely on the matter of allowing IDF conversions to be recognized by the state. Ultra-Orthodox MKs present at the hearing objected.
The Shas Party has demanded that the vote be postponed until Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar returns from a visit abroad. (Roni Sofer)
