- 16 July 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק התקשורת (שידורים), התשפ"ו-2026Communications (Broadcasting) Bill, 2026auto53 for · 48 against · 2 abst. · 103 of 120 votedCoalition 52:0 · Opposition 1:48Blue and White: majority against (0 for · 8 against)Supporters saidautoThe law removes outdated regulation and entry barriers, opens the communications market to competition, and enables the entry of new channels and players, which will increase the diversity of opinions and break up existing monopolies.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoThe legislative process was flawed and exceptionally rushed: the law was tabled in the Knesset against the position of the Attorney General, a special committee was established to bypass the Economic Affairs Committee, the minister himself effectively ran the committee and drafted clauses and reservations, and the Knesset Legal Advisor and the committee were attacked and overridden - which is expected to lead to the law's invalidation by the High Court of Justice.Speakers who made this point: 1343 members spoke
- 16 July 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק זכויות הסטודנט (תיקון מס' 12), התשפ"ו–2026Student Rights Bill (Amendment No. 12), 2026auto52 for · 43 against · 95 of 120 votedCoalition 50:0 · Opposition 2:43Blue and White: majority against (0 for · 8 against)Supporters saidautoCurrently, men and women from the Haredi and religious public, who are committed to a religious lifestyle, are forced to forgo higher education and professional advancement in fields requiring a master's or doctoral degree because they lack a suitable framework for studies, which harms their livelihood and their integration into the labor market.Speakers who made this point: 3Opponents saidautoGender segregation is not equality but rather actual exclusion of women, since women are the ones who pay the historical price of any segregation, and will receive inferior conditions, lecturers, and resources in the separate tracks.Speakers who made this point: 941 members spoke · 600 reservations
- 15 July 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק היועץ המשפטי לממשלה (חוות דעת, ייצוג ופיקוח), התשפ"ו–2026Attorney General Bill (Legal Opinions, Representation and Oversight), 2026auto65 for · 51 against · 116 of 120 votedCoalition 64:0 · Opposition 1:51Blue and White: majority against (0 for · 8 against)Supporters saidautoThe actual conduct of the current Attorney General, such as delaying security appointments (the head of the Mossad, the head of the Shin Bet) and selective enforcement, proves the need for structural reform and the failure of the existing system.Speakers who made this point: 9Opponents saidautoThe law allows the government to disregard legal opinions and instruct public officials to act contrary to the law, thereby releasing the executive branch from subordination to the rule of law and making the government the arbiter of the legality of its own actions.Speakers who made this point: 1165 members spoke · 778 reservations
- 15 July 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק איסור הונאה בכשרות (תיקון מס' 5), התשפ"ו-2026Prohibition of Kashrut Fraud Bill (Amendment No. 5), 2026auto46 for · 41 against · 87 of 120 votedCoalition 46:0 · Opposition 0:41Blue and White: majority against (0 for · 8 against)Supporters saidautoThe law severs the direct financial dependency between the kashrut supervisor and the business owner being supervised, thereby removing a built-in conflict of interest that harmed the credibility of supervision.Speakers who made this point: 1Opponents saidautoThis is a law intended to create and secure thousands of jobs for political associates, mainly for the Haredi parties, through control over the religious councils and local rabbinate.Speakers who made this point: 1023 members spoke · 1,517 reservations
- 14 July 2026 · Third readingLaw passedחוק שירות ביטחון (תיקון מס' 28 - הוראת שעה), התשפ"ו-2026Security Service Law (Amendment No. 28 – temporary provision), 2026auto58 for · 54 against · 112 of 120 votedCoalition 57:4 · Opposition 1:50Blue and White: majority against (0 for · 8 against)Supporters saidautoTorah scholars and the value of Torah study, which is a foundation of the spiritual existence of the Jewish people, must be protected, and they must not be turned into criminals or arrested.Speakers who made this point: 8Opponents saidautoThe law grants immunity and exemption from arrest and criminal proceedings specifically to Haredi deserters and draft evaders, while the same sanctions continue to apply to the general public, thereby creating improper discrimination between one person's blood and another's and harming equality before the law.Speakers who made this point: 1970 members spoke · 1,754 reservations
- 14 July 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת המועצות המקומיות (מס' 82), התשפ"ו-2026Bill Amending the Local Councils Ordinance (No. 82), 2026auto49 for · 37 against · 86 of 120 votedCoalition 47:0 · Opposition 2:37Blue and White: majority against (0 for · 4 against)Supporters saidautoThe amendment is required to enable the establishment of a municipal entity for new communities in the Negev (such as Mevo'ot Arad, Route 25, Dror, Kasif, and Tilah) that are not currently affiliated with any local authority, which delays their development.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoThe legislative process was hasty and lacked in-depth discussion: the law was approved in first reading and, after only a few days, was already advanced toward second and third readings, without a budgetary assessment or staff work being presented to committee members.Speakers who made this point: 111 members spoke · 10 reservations
- 13 July 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק-יסוד: לימוד תורהBasic Law Bill: Torah Studyauto63 for · 52 against · 115 of 120 votedCoalition 62:2 · Opposition 1:50Blue and White: majority against (0 for · 8 against)Supporters saidautoThe study of Torah is a foundational value that accompanied the Jewish people through thousands of years of exile and preserved its identity and existence, and therefore it is fitting to enshrine it in a Basic Law just as other foundational values have been enshrined.Speakers who made this point: 17Opponents saidautoThis is in practice a draft-evasion law disguised as a values law: it is intended to create a constitutional basis that equates those who study Torah with those who serve in the military, to enable benefits for draft evaders, and to make it difficult for courts in the future to strike down laws exempting people from conscription.Speakers who made this point: 1968 members spoke · 613 reservations
- 29 June 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק העונשין (תיקון מס' 155), התשפ"ו–2026Penal Bill (Amendment No. 155), 2026auto13 for · 0 against · 13 of 120 votedBlue and White: majority for (1 for · 0 against)

- 9 June 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק הגבלת שכר טרחה (נכי צבא הגנה לישראל וכוחות הביטחון ונפגעי פעולות איבה), התשפ"ו-2026Limitation of Attorney Fees (Israel Defense Forces and Security Forces Disabled Veterans and Victims of Hostile Actions) Bill, 2026auto14 for · 0 against · 1 abst. · 15 of 120 votedBlue and White: majority for (1 for · 0 against)

- 31 March 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק התוכנית לסיוע כלכלי (הוראת שעה) (תעסוקה), התשפ"ו-2026Economic Assistance Program Bill (temporary provision) (Employment), 2026auto44 for · 35 against · 79 of 120 votedCoalition 43:0 · Opposition 1:35Blue and White: majority against (0 for · 8 against)Supporters saidautoThe arrangement is necessary and urgent in order to enable the National Insurance Institute to quickly pay unemployment benefits to workers who were forced to be absent from their work due to the fighting situation and are not receiving wages.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoThe arrangement discriminates between public sector employees, who receive full compensation for days of absence, and private sector employees and self-employed persons, who are forced to absorb a loss of about 25% of their wages.Speakers who made this point: 35 members spoke · 1 reservation
- 31 March 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק שירות לאומי-אזרחי (תיקון מס' 9), התשפ"ו-2026National-Civic Service Bill (Amendment No. 9), 2026auto48 for · 39 against · 87 of 120 votedCoalition 47:0 · Opposition 1:39Blue and White: majority against (0 for · 8 against)Supporters saidautoThis is a temporary and technical extension required to prevent a certain legal vacuum until a comprehensive arrangement is formulated and a conscription law is legislated, and not a substantive decision on the issue of Haredi conscription.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoThe law allows someone who received a service deferral and is fit for military service, including those with a combat profile, to exempt themselves from meaningful service by transferring to a short national service track without reserve duty, at a time when the IDF suffers from a severe shortage of combat soldiers.Speakers who made this point: 738 members spoke · 281 reservations
- 30 March 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק עונש מוות למחבלים, התשפ"ו-2026Death Penalty for Terrorists Bill, 2026auto62 for · 48 against · 1 abst. · 111 of 120 votedCoalition 58:4 · Opposition 4:44Blue and White: majority against (0 for · 7 against)Supporters saidautoThe death penalty will create real deterrence against terrorists, will prevent the phenomenon of releasing murderers in deals and their return to terrorist activity, and will thereby save Jewish lives in the future.Speakers who made this point: 9Opponents saidautoThe law does not in practice apply to the perpetrators of the 7 October massacre (the Nukhba), to terrorists from Gaza, or to Jewish terrorists, but only to Arab residents of Judea and Samaria, and therefore this is misleading the public and a political-image campaign rather than a genuine tool for eradicating terror.Speakers who made this point: 2148 members spoke · 1,239 reservations
