Yisrael Beytenu lawmaker Oded Forer is gathering support within the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee to compel a debate on bills that would extend Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank settlement of Ma'ale Adumim. Forer criticized committee chairman Boaz Bismuth for not advancing the legislation, which passed preliminary readings alongside a similar measure for all West Bank settlements. Both bills, despite opposition from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and disapproval from Washington, remain stalled in committee. The delay has sparked frustration among their sponsors, who accuse the government of hindering the legislative process, even as it moves to expand Ma'ale Adumim.
