Overnight, the Knesset plenum began the debate on the final approval of the immunity from arrests law. The marathon plenum debate was halted toward morning and will resume at 09:00.
Assessment
The Knesset has begun a marathon overnight debate on a law that would freeze arrests of draft dodgers, with discussion paused until morning. At stake is whether the military's enforcement powers will be suspended, a move that could reshape the relationship between the IDF and the legislature. The outcome will signal how the coalition balances military discipline against political pressures.
