Likud ministers: Jordan Valley more important than Jerusalem

The ability of this country's legislative body to ignore the voters' wishes - an outgrowth of the system of voting for a party rather than a person - never ceases to amaze me.

The Ministerial Committee on Legislation rejected a bill proposed by Regev (Likud) that would require 61 MK's to vote in favor before negotiations on Jerusalem could begin. Not a single Likud minister voted in favor.
