MK David Rebibbo (Likud) voted in favor of a bill, breaking coalition discipline, while MKs Dan Illouz, Yuli Edelstein, and Moshe Solomon voted against, according to Amit Segal (N12). The specific bill and exact vote context are not yet reported.
In a Knesset vote held Wednesday evening, MK David Rebibbo (Likud) broke coalition discipline and voted in favor of an unidentified bill, while MKs Dan Illouz (Likud), Yuli Edelstein (National Unity), and Moshe Solomon (Religious Zionism) voted against, according to Amit Segal (N12). The specific bill and its subject have not yet been disclosed.
The vote follows weeks of internal coalition tensions over legislation regarding military service exemptions for yeshiva students and other issues. As The Zioneer reported earlier, MKs Edelstein and Illouz had previously voted against the Torah Study Basic Law during a Knesset plenum session on Wednesday, June 10. MK Solomon earlier stated he would remain in the Religious Zionism party despite internal disagreements. The current vote's relationship to that earlier bill remains unconfirmed.
