Benny Gantz's party chooses to vote themselves out of the Knesset
The Knesset will dissolve on Tuesday night at midnight and Israel will go to the fourth round of elections in a bit less than two years after a bill to extend the deadline for passing the state budget was voted down in the Knesset plenum on Monday night.Shir has announced she's bolting the Likud along with Saar to join his latest defection and division farce, so that explains quite a bit about her negative vote. Making her a disgrace just like Saar, who likely put her up to this.
The bill, an amendment to Basic Law: The Knesset, would have delayed the deadline for passing the 2020 state budget from December 23 to December 31.
The Knesset’s plenum rejected the proposal to postpone the transfer of the budget by two weeks by a majority of 49 to 47 after Members of Knesset Miki Haimovich, Ram Shefa and Assaf Zamir from the coalition voted against the bill. MK Michal Shir (Likud) also voted against it.
The four were not present in the hall at first but entered the plenum in the middle of the debate and theirs were the votes that brought down the bill.
The bill did not pass, and the Knesset will automatically dissolve and elections will be held sometime in March 2021, most likely March 23.
For now, it looks like Gantz won't have his chance to be a premier after all. His party looks to get less than 10 seats this time in the coming election, as most on the left are no longer interested in him. But if we're talking about liabilites on the right, Naftali Bennett, if he's to be considered a "conservative" is doing a terrible disfavor with the way he says he wants to replace Netanyahu, and it won't shock me if Bennett will do everything he can to sabotage the right in the coming election. It's honestly a shame it had to come to this, but when you have so many phonies on the right, just like RINOs in the USA, that's troubling.
