Knesset reopens with government teetering, opposition seeking to bring it down
(Worthy News) – The Knesset reopens on Monday for the summer session with the government fighting for survival after losing its majority during the recess and the opposition vowing to bring it down.
The crisis was sparked by the surprise defection of the former whip, Yamina MK Idit Silman, on April 6, which ended the diverse eight-party coalition’s one-seat majority, leaving the 120-member parliament deadlocked with a 60-60 seat parity between the coalition and opposition.
The loss of Silman was further exacerbated by the Islamist Arab party Ra’am freezing its membership in the coalition amid tensions on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
