Tunisia-Abdel Razzaq Oweidat: “Draft law criminalizing normalization may include some amendments” [Video]

Oueidat noted that the Sovereign Line bloc does not recognize the entity as a state because the fundamental components of a state do not exist. He argued that the land does not belong to this entity, indicating that it could be referred to as an armed gang, a usurping entity, or a Zionist entity.

The representative clarified that scheduling a session on February 26th to present the draft law criminalizing normalization does not ensure its passage. The outcome depends on the votes of the representatives, who will vote on the remaining chapters (Chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). Afterwards, a collective vote will be taken either in favour or against the entire law.

He highlighted that the initiative side seeks to engage with representatives, considering their perspectives and positions, and formulating potential amendments. They have the right to suggest changes related to the chapters that haven’t been voted on, and they can also revisit the title, first, and second chapters, amending them following Chapter 112 of the bylaws.

He underscored that if amendments are made to chapters that haven’t been voted on, it opens the possibility of revisiting previously voted-on chapters for amendments, guaranteeing coherence in the text of the draft law.
