Israel’s coalition is on life support
As usual, the political future of the Jewish state remains uncertain as a new round of elections becomes a looming possibility.
(December 15, 2020 / JNS) The Knesset took its first step towards dissolving the government and setting the country on the path to its fourth round of elections in two years. In a 61-54 vote, the opposition, joined by Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s Blue and White Party, moved for new elections. While the bill requires three more readings before it is passed, this development is yet another sign that Israel’s coalition government is on life support.
