The Ministerial Law Committee has defeated a bill sponsored by Likud MK Miri Regev seeking to protest Yerushalayim and Israel. Regev’s bill would compel Knesset approval prior to entering into negotiations on the future of Jerusalem and the PA (Palestinian Authority) demands regarding so-called refugees returning to Israel.

Bayit Yehudi Ministers Ariel and Orbach voted against it on Sunday 11 Shevat along with all the Likud ministers serving on the committee.
