From an investigative commission to dissolving the Knesset: the bills already submitted

In depth

The Yashar! faction, led by Gadi Eisenkot, submitted a series of bills at the opening of the Knesset session, including establishing a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre and limiting the term of the prime minister. The proposals were submitted together with other factions.

Former prime minister Yair Lapid submitted three bills: limiting the prime minister's term to eight years, enshrining the Declaration of Independence in a Basic Law, and regulating the partnership covenant, which would allow every couple to register in a civil partnership registry.

The October Council welcomed the bill to establish the state commission of inquiry and called for it to be advanced quickly. In the Change Bloc, efforts are also underway to replace Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana with Matan Kahana, a move that is expected to take place next week.
