ערוץ 7

The proposed Basic Law: Torah Study returned to Wednesday's Knesset plenum agenda after being briefly removed without explanation, reviving plans for a first-reading vote. The removal had fueled speculation that the coalition lacked support amid dissent in Likud and Religious Zionism. The House Committee advanced the bill after a 10-4 vote, marathon debates and legal objections. Israel should honor Torah learning while resolving service obligations with serious legislation, not procedural confusion.
