Uproar in the Constitution Committee: Confrontation between Minister Smotrich and Danny Elgaret

A stormy discussion developed this morning in the Knesset's Constitution Committee, which dealt with advancing the law to split the role of the Attorney General and the Public Prosecutor. According to Daphna Liel's report, Minister Bezalel Smotrich arrived at the discussion to "take credit" for advancing the legislation, but his presence led to a rapid escalation.

The event reached its peak when Danny Elgaret sat down near the minister. According to the description, when Smotrich asked Elgaret for his identity, a major uproar developed on the spot, forcing the committee chairman to send the discussion into a forced recess.

On the News in Real-Time Telegram channel, they reacted to the event with sharp criticism towards Minister Smotrich, using blunt language. It should be noted that Daphna Liel's channel adopts a line sometimes identified with criticism of the political system, while the reports reflect the high tension surrounding the reforms to the legal system promoted by the coalition.
