Israeli Parliament to Vote Today on Its Dissolution
The Israeli regime’s media reported today that a bill to dissolve the Knesset will be presented for initial review, as major opposition parties are expected to announce their positions on the matter.
Israeli media added that Benjamin Netanyahu, the regime’s prime minister, is attempting to delay the issue to buy more time.
the Shas party,a conventional ally of Likud and a pillar of the current governing coalition,announced it would vote in favor of dissolving parliament during Wednesday’s session.
Aryeh Deri,Shas leader,stated: “We’ve lost faith in netanyahu. We expected him to act much sooner-not just in recent days.”
Shas holds 11 seats as one of the main ultra-Orthodox parties in the coalition. Based on its seat count, this party has enough influence to collapse Israel’s current cabinet.
Shas’ decision to leave the coalition means Netanyahu’s government will lose its knesset majority-retaining at most 57 seats-which is insufficient to maintain power.
Simultaneously occurring, Merav Ben Ari, a Knesset member confirmed all opposition bloc leaders would meet today and reach a joint decision regarding dissolving parliament.
