The bill, unveiled by Sa'ar in an interview with Yediot Aharonot on Friday, would prevent a criminal defendant from being tapped to form a government. During the interview, Sa'ar said he intends to submit the bill during the Knesset's winter session, and that it would apply beginning from the elections for the 25th Knesset.

 

When asked if he had coordinated the bill with Bennett, Sa'ar responded: "Assume that I would not start this process without being coordinated with the Prime Minister."
