Without a deal, the coalition government falls on Monday night
The regular Israeli cabinet session was called off this Sunday for a last-ditch effort to bridge the rift between the two ruling parties Likud and Kahol Lavan. Failure to present a state budget by Monday night would automatically bring the government down and generate a new election. On the Knesset table is a bill for postponing this deadline by 100 days. It has passed its first reading with Likud support and awaits Kahol Lavan’s decision to back it it.
