"Madar" statistics: Recent parliamentary mandates of the Knesset embody the rise of the extreme right

A report issued by the Palestinian Center for Israeli Studies (MADAR), published during a seminar in Ramallah, highlighted the escalating state of extremism at the top of the Israeli political pyramid, including the decisions of the ruling establishment and the laws of the Knesset which targets the Palestinian people in various fields.
The report, which is considered the second of its kind, deals with the “Register of Racist and Supporting of Settlement’s laws” in the framework of the present Knesset session, covering the 2015 Summer Session and the 2017 Winter Session. The parties and the Israeli government are generally racing to introduce racist laws targeting the Palestinian presence in the entire land of Palestine.
“During the parliamentary term (17), the period between 2006 and 2009, the Knesset approved the final reading of six laws, while during the 18 th parliamentary term, the period 2009-2013, eight laws were approved with final reading, while within two parliamentarians years the Knesset passed 24 laws” said Barhoum Graissi, who prepared the report adding that “all indicators indicate that this number will continue to record leaps until the next election.”
He added: 136 laws  have been included in the agenda of the Knesset within two years, 25 laws were finally approved, other than 15 in stages of legislation.
But we have noticed that the monitoring of the laws is very rapid and competition between the deputies to put more laws in favor of the settlement directly, there are 37 direct laws, including 30 laws aimed at imposing the so-called “Israeli sovereignty” on the settlements, or on the West Bank as a whole, Including three laws that were frozen after it was approved by the preliminary reading, to be replaced by the law of land looting called “settlements”.
“The Israeli government, under the guidance of its chairman, Benjamin Netanyahu, summoned the Knesset to hold an extraordinary session during the spring break and on April 5 to approve the final reading of a bill aimed at the Palestinians of the 48th in the construction case, the so-called” unauthorized construction ” The law threatens thousands of houses to speed up demolition orders, without the court having the power to stop them, and impose very heavy fines on the owners of these houses.
He added: Increasing the winter cycle 2016-2017, the laws of the character of tyranny and condescension against anyone who is different from government policies and coalition agendas, especially the law banning the ears of mosques, approved by the Knesset preliminary reading, pointing in return by monitoring the bills and vote on them, “collusion And active participation of the opposition blocs, ie, “the Zionist camp” and “there is a future” in this process.
