Knesset activity will be reduced only to legislation or oversight meetings considered “urgent or important” for the war effort, and only if agreed upon by both coalition and opposition, the Knesset spokesperson announced on Sunday following consultations between Knesset Speaker MK Amir Ohana (Likud), coalition whip MK Ofir Katz (Likud), opposition coordinator MK Merav Ben Ari (Yesh Atid), and head of the Knesset Guard.

The sides will hold a daily situation assessment in order to monitor the situation, the spokesperson added.
The opposition party National Unity announced that it had removed motions of no confidence from Monday’s plenum agenda, “out of the understanding that these are critical days for the State of Israel and it is worthy to act responsibly.”
National Unity entered the government soon after the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre. Asked whether it was considering a similar move, the party spokesperson said, “As we proved in the past, we will always know to do what’s right for the country.”
The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee’s Subcommittee for Intelligence and Secret Services held an “extensive” meeting regarding the “war against Iran and future courses of action,” with representatives from the IDF, the Mossad, and the National Security Council.

The Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee (FADC) plenary will convene for a classified meeting on Monday in order to hear an update on the ongoing operation against Iran, as well as vote to approve Defense Minister Israel Katz’s announcement of special emergency regulations on the home front.
