Knesset Jeremy Analysis: 9 seat difference. I don’t remember the last poll that had Labor within a single digit margin of Likud Beitenu. Bayit Yehudi rebounds to reclaim third place. UTJ with an interesting 8 seats puts them ahead of Shas. Strong Israel passes the current threshold for the second time this month. Ben Ari said in an interview on Thursday that although he might not run, his Strong Israel Party will run in the next elections despite the planned threshold increase. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/288446#.Uxj4uvnm6T8

The three most important bills of the 19th Knesset are expected to come up for their third readings this month, before Knesset goes on recess March 19th. The National Referendum Bill, The Haredi Draft Bill and The Electoral Reform Bill are expected to all pass. Each one of these bills will have a big impact on the country. What is in each bill, what is not in each bill? KnessetJeremy is planning to return to its 18th-Knesset format and give you a summary of each MKs speech in the plenum. It should be a lot of fun.

Radio interview broadcast on Galai Yisrael:

Yishai is joined by Knesset insider Jeremy Man Saltan. Together, they kick off discussing the need for expansion for Israel’s rail and public transportation system. They move on to talk about the potential passing and implementation of the Tal Law, a law that is mandating that ultra-orthodox Jews be drafted into service in the Israel Defense Forces. The segment ends with further discussion about ultra-orthodox Jews moving into national service and potential benefits or penalties that could be given to those that choose or not choose to serve.
