Election Bill
Passes Hurdle

Jerusalern/JTA — Israel's Knesset
gave preliminary approval to a bill
that would cancel the current law
that provides for the direct election
of the prime minister.
One of the sponsors of the bill,
Meretz legislator Naomi Hazan, said
recent events have proven that the
current electoral system gives far too
much political power to the smaller
parties.
The bill, which was approved 37-
15, must pass three more votes
before becoming law.
