Bennett, Lapid said to share veto powers under coalition deal
(Worthy News) – Yamina chief Naftali Bennett and Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid will share mutual veto power as part of the coalition agreement for the emerging “government for change”, Hebrew media reported Monday evening.
Lawmakers who wish to raise an issue for either government or ministerial committee discussion would require the approval of both the sitting prime minister and alternate prime minister. The voting power in the government plenum and in ministerial committees will be equally divided between both the coalition’s right- and left-wing flanks, with each prime minister overseeing their flank’s ministers.
The coalition agreements will be signed between Prime Minister-Designate Bennett’s Yamina party and Alternate Prime Minister-Designate Lapid’s Yesh Atid party, and at the same time, between the bloc’s six other factions and Yesh Atid. [ Source: YNet News (Read More…) ]
