Government passes controversial Jewish nationhood bill
The government passed on Sunday the contentious Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People, a controversial new bill which is threatening to tear the governing coalition apart, in a 14-7 vote, which saw the coalition split in its support for the legislation.
All of Yesh Atid's ministers voted against, as did Justice Minister Tzipi Livni. Culture Minister Limor Livnat abstained from the vote.
