The Knesset Regulatory Committee headed by Likud MK Yoav Kish convened on Monday in order to discuss the appointments of temporary deputy Knesset speakers. At the start of the committee's discussion, Kish noted that he had "not succeeded in reaching agreements with the opposition. I suggested increasing the number of deputy speakers from nine to eleven, with six from the coalition and five from the opposition, in order to enable all parties to have representation. But it appears that there is overriding opposition to anything we suggest. I appeal to the opposition parties and ask them to discuss this right now, here in the committee."
Responding, MK Boaz Toporovsky (Yesh Atid) said, "We oppose the appointment of people whose views were correct two thousand years ago." MK Galit Distal Atbarian (Likud) then interjected, telling Toporovsky that it was "deplorable that the left-wing bloc is using LGBT people against us. Don't you have anything to say about the fact that MK Walid Taha thinks that homos are depraved?" She then turned to Taha himself, asking him, "Are homos depraved?" to which Taha replied that it was not the subject of the current discussion.
