By a vote of seven to five, the Knesset Education Committee has cleared for the second and third reading a bill by Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Member of Knesset Shuli Mualem-Refaeli (Jewish Home) that will leave extreme left organizations outside the schools.
The law states that extreme leftist organizations that operate against Israel Defense Forces soldiers and the goals of state education will not be able to enter the school grounds and meet with the students. It has been called the "Breaking the Silence" bill after one of those groups.
