Itamar Ben Gvir is going on bandying about that Rav Rafi Peretz and Betzalel Smotritch should honor their word and agreement and resign from the Knesset, now that they have been appointed to ministerial positions so that he, Ben Gvir, and Baruch Marzel, can enter the Knesset using the Norwegian Law.
I agree with Ben Gvir that agreements need to be honored, but Ben Gvir needs a little bit of patience.
As far as I know, the previous Knesset term passed the Norwegian law, at the time, only as a horaat shaa - a temporary measure only for that specific Knesset term. When that Knesset was dissolved, the Norwegian Law went out of effect.
Peretz and Smotritch have been appointed to ministerial positions in a temporary "holding" government as we wait for new elections. This temporary government cannot pass news like, such as a new Norwegian law. This government is in a holding pattern until after elections and the formation of a new government. Ben Gvir is right, but he needs a little bit of patience and has to wait until the Norwegian Law situation becomes relevant again.
