Livni on 'Struck Bill': Proof gov't does not serve settlement rabbis
None
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni commented on the Ministerial Committee for Legislative Affairs rejection of the bill proposed by MK Orit Struck which attempted to block future attempts to release Palestinian prisoners.
"Today we have seen that the government, despite the best attempts of one of its member parties, acts according to national interests and not those of Yesha rabbis. The government is promoting a diplomatic process which falls on the shoulders of all its ministers, even those who accepted it in silence or in return for (settlement) construction," Livni said.
