Presumed incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party will oppose a demand from far-right and religious parties to abolish the so-called grandchild clause in the Law of Return, according to a Wednesday report.
The parties that submitted the request during coalition talks — the ultra-Orthodox Shas and United Torah Judaism parties and the far-right Religious Zionism and Otzma Yehudit parties — believe the decision was made by Likud to avoid compromising Israel-Diaspora relations, the Kan public broadcaster said. The report said the parties were weighing their options and considering whether or not to insist on this legislative move as part of their ongoing negotiations with Likud.
