Only symbolic for now, but...

The Israeli government lost 3 of 5 no-confidence motions:
The government lost three out of five no-confidence votes in the Knesset on Monday, as Shas MKs shunned the plenum in protest of coalition actions.

The blow to the coalition was a symbolic one only, as the opposition did not achieve a majority of 61 MKs needed to bring down the government.

Shas abstained from the vote due to the coalition's approval of Labor MK Avishai Braverman's appointment to chair of the Knesset's Finance Committee, a move it opposed.
You can see here that the government's survival does depend in part upon Shas's willingness to support it, so they should be paid attention to. The question thus still remains if they are going to act responsibly and make a departure from a government that isn't worth their time to begin with.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
