None
The Knesset voted down the second proposal for a probe against leftist groups by a 57 to 28 margin. The bill was proposed by Yisrael Beitenu.
Many government ministers were absent during the vote. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also voted against the bill. A different bill proposal to investigate left-wing organizations was voted down earlier in the Knesset plenum session. (Ynet)
