'Oren Hazan Law' fails to pass first reading

A bill that would make it easier to dismiss a Deputy Knesset Speaker due to inappropriate behavior suffered a setback on Tuesday when the Knesset rejected its first reading.

The bill, which has been nicknamed the “Oren Hazan Law” after the controversial Likud MK, failed to pass its first reading despite the fact that it was supported by the coalition and was brought forward by the House Committee which recently approved it.
