Coalition Chairman MK Ofir Katz stated Sunday that the current Knesset will complete its full term, a milestone not seen in Israel in over 40 years. Speaking as he works to set a dissolution date, Katz said: 'In the end, contrary to what everyone said, this Knesset is fulfilling its days. Something that hasn't happened in over 40 years. We passed nine budgets, hundreds of good laws for the citizens of the State of Israel.'
The statement comes as the coalition prepares to dissolve the Knesset by July 17, as The Zioneer previously reported. The Knesset legal advisor recommended passing the dissolution bill this week alongside the party funding bill, setting a September 7 deadline for party lists ahead of October 27 elections. Katz's remarks underscore the coalition's effort to frame its legislative record positively as the term draws to a close.
