MK Michael Malchieli of Shas harshly attacked former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in response to Bennett's presentation of the "Deri Law" earlier today. Malchieli declared that in the next government, a new bill he called the "Bennett Law" would be advanced, under which anyone who "stole the premiership" contrary to their promises to voters would be barred from running for the Knesset again. According to him, "a political con artist who steals the premiership with six seats, against the will of his voters, will not be able to run for the Knesset again." The remarks came shortly after Bennett presented his initiative, under which anyone who evaded military service or encouraged evasion would be disqualified from serving as a member of the political-security cabinet. The confrontation between the sides comes amid escalating political discourse over the issue of conscription and the formation of the next government, with each side presenting bills aimed at their political rival.
