The Ministerial Law Committee has defeated a bill sponsored by Likud MK Miri Regev seeking to protest Yerushalayim and Israel. Regev�s bill would compel Knesset approval prior to entering into negotiations on the future of Jerusalem and the PA (Palestinian Authority) demands regarding so-called refugees returning to Israel.

Bayit Yehudi Ministers Ariel and Orbach voted against it on Sunday 11 Shevat along with all the Likud ministers serving on the committee.
