    Any proof that this is uniquely rightwing? I couldn’t find a list of votes by political party or anything of the sort, and my understanding is that the Central Election Committee is at least in theory broadly representative of the Knesset as a whole.

      There is only one left and one center-left party in the Knesset and together they have 9 seats out of 60.

      The commission has a majority of 18 Likud-aligned members. The proportion is similar to the Knesset. The rest are from other parties. Now go look at the vote total from the article.

      They didn’t say it outright but it’s clear this is being driven by Likud and their far right allies.
