Likud and coalition partner Blue & White are at odds over demands for solving the political deadlock as the bill, which intends to help the two sides find compromise on a state budget, is set to fall short of a majority in the Knesset plenum.
Earlier, the Central Knesset Committee approved in the first reading the bill that would see the deadline for the approval of the 2020 budget postponed until December 31 and the deadline for the 2021 budget delayed until January 5.
