The law prevents investigators from recommending whether the attorney general should charge suspects in some of the most high-profile cases. <br/><br/>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, it will protect innocent people. However, critics said, the legislation was an attempt to reduce scrutiny of corruption investigations into Mr Netanyahu himself. One opposition party said, it would challenge the law at the Supreme Court.<br/><br/>'The Police Recommendations Bill was passed by 59 votes to 54 in the Knesset today, after two days of filibusters by opposition lawmakers.<br/>
