Both the coalition and the opposition have removed all their bills from the Knesset's agenda for this week, according to Dafna Liel of N12. The move is seen as unusual, with Liel noting the opposition also withdrew its bills despite having an opportunity to leave them on the floor while lawmakers campaign in primaries.
Both the coalition and the opposition have withdrawn all legislative items from the Knesset agenda for this week, according to a report from Dafna Liel of N12. Liel described the move as 'puzzling,' noting that the opposition had an opportunity to leave its bills on the floor while its members campaign in internal party primaries, but chose to pull them as well. The development comes amid a period of heightened internal party campaigning across the political spectrum in Israel. Earlier this month, The Zioneer reported on coalition tensions over the daycare funding bill, which was delayed by Likud, and on opposition lawmakers being ejected from a committee debate on the media bill. The current blanket removal of legislation from the agenda suggests a tacit agreement between the blocs to clear the schedule, though no official explanation has been provided by either side.
