Bill to apply Israeli Law to West Bank rejected

The Ministerial Committee for Legislative Affairs postponed on Sunday rejected a bill by MK Miri Regev (Likud) to apply the Israeli Law to all Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

Following an intense debate, Justice Minister Yaakov Ne'eman noted that the bill must be coordinated with the prime minister. After voting had already begun, Regev herself asked that the legislation be postponed for a month. (Aviad Glickman)
