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.

Knesset Jeremy Analysis: Scenario poll shows that both Netanyahu would gain from running without Yisrael Beitenu by ensuring more Likud MKs and raising the Netanyahu-Liberman block, as well as the right block. In the “regular” poll the tie between Labor and Yesh Atid is quite interesting for second place.
