A bill enabling public hospital administrators to ban chometz for the upcoming Pesach cleared its first reading in the Knesset late Sunday, passing in a 51-46 vote during a special session, Times of Israel reports.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid, head of Yesh Atid, went bonkers over the vote, accusing the coalition of clearing the bill in its first of three readings “like thieves in the night.”…This government is two months old, it hasn’t passed anything for the public good, but most urgent tonight [was this] religious coercion,” tweeted Lapid.
Lapid, Avraham Burg and the judicial courts will go bananas bringing on new protests.
