Tonight's meeting of coalition faction heads, called by Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss setting a date for dissolving the Knesset, has been canceled, according to reports.
The meeting of coalition faction heads scheduled for Tuesday evening with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been canceled, according to a report from Yinnon News. The session was originally set to finalize a date for dissolving the Knesset, following Netanyahu's earlier call to convene coalition leaders at 18:00 Jerusalem time.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, UTJ leaders Yitzhak Goldknopf and Moshe Gafni had agreed to boycott the meeting, saying the party no longer considers itself part of the coalition. The cancellation comes amid growing coalition tensions: Haredi parties boycotted a Finance Committee hearing Tuesday over a stalled daycare funding bill, and both coalition and opposition pulled all their bills from the Knesset agenda earlier this week.
It remains unclear whether the meeting will be rescheduled or whether alternative arrangements are being made to advance the Knesset dissolution process.
