Commenting on the decision of the coalition to expedite passage of the controversial Electricity Law, MK Bezalel Smotrich, head of the Religious Zionism party, has called out coalition members for their hypocrisy.
"Yesterday, [Knesset Speaker] Mickey Levy reproved Knesset members regarding maintaining the dignity of the Knesset and of political discourse; today, he is lending his hand to trampling on that very same Knesset by the coalition," Smotrich said.
"The coalition is attempting to silence the opposition and prevent it from being able to critique the Electricity Law, and in doing so, it is also trampling on the expert opinion of the Knesset's legal counsel," he added. "This coalition is destroying democracy and the Knesset itself."
