'We'll go to elections': Government faces crisis over cannabis law

 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/309863

 A fierce debate erupted within the coalition government Wednesday over an upcoming vote on a bill to significantly expand access to medicinal marijuana in Israel.

The bill, drafted by New Hope MK Sharren Haskel, would broadly decriminalize ownership of cannabis when it is intended for one’s own use for medicinal purposes.

While the coalition largely backs the legislation, the United Arab List has thus far refused to agree to support the bill, forcing the government to push off the preliminary vote in the Knesset plenum.

    Really? This is how the government will fall? Not over the chareidi draft. Not over economic issues. Not over the Arabs. Just over pot.

    Key takeaway: principled Arabs standing by their principles. A refreshing political breeze.
