The bill that will prevent the Supreme Court from interfering in the appointment of ministers, allowing Shas chairman Aryeh Deri to return to the table, was passed on Wednesday in a preliminary reading. The law was passed by a majority of 62 versus 53. Deri did not participate in the vote. After the Deri Law was passed, a debate began on the Override Clause, an amendment to one of Israel’s Basic Laws that will curb the power of the Supreme Court. After an extremely raucous debate with loud screaming between the coalition and opposition members, the Override Clause was passed in a preliminary vote as well. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
