Kachol Lavan under pressure for protests

The news is reporting that the Knesset is prepping to vote on the issue of limiting protests during the lockdown. it seems Kachol Lavan is in a bind. They wan tot vote in favor of limiting protests, but are under heavy pressure form the protesters and their supporters to oppose any limitations. They are trying to find a way to bow out, generally by an arrangement to not show up and have others on the opposing team also agree to not show up, but are having difficulty working this out.

I would suggest Kachol Lavan ignore them. Those pushing them to vote against any limitations are mostly hard leftists and are not supporters of Kachol Lavan. They also will not vote  Kachol Lavan in the future. There is no need for Kachol Lavan to feel pressure by these people. If Kachol Lavan strongly opposes the vote, that is a different story, but that does not seem to be the case. It seems they are only seeking to oppose because of the pressure from the protesters. 

If that is the case, ignore them - they aren't people you will ever get votes form anyway. They will be voters for Lapid and for Meretz and maybe some United Arab List protest voters (not that they are the same, but they have strong anti-Bibi voters among them).
