MKs

Likud's internal court ruled that serving MKs and ministers cannot run for regional positions, citing harm to equality. This decision negatively impacts the political survival of many lawmakers.

The military has closed an area around Gaza ahead of a settler march backed by Likud, with Ben Gvir, Smotrich, and other MKs expected to participate in a Nachala-led demonstration advocating for Jewish settlement in the Strip. The IDF stated it will prevent any illegal attempts to enter Gaza during the event.

A bill to ban Red Cross visits to Palestinian prisoners failed due to a boycott by Haredim. The coalition chief reportedly urged opposition MKs not to oppose the measure, but his request was rejected. Ben Gvir criticized Shas for boycotting the vote, highlighting tensions between the parties.

The High Court criticized the process used to elect the state comptroller, suggesting it may intervene. The court deputy president questioned whether the word 'secret' should be removed from the state comptroller law, while the government argued that MKs who recorded their votes acted within legal bounds.
