Israel's Transportation Ministry warned the coalition Tuesday evening that if the bill to ease traffic congestion is not advanced, road congestion will worsen. The warning comes as coalition factions continue to clash over legislative priorities, according to a report by Ynet.
The Transportation Ministry's warning escalates pressure on the coalition to advance the traffic-relief legislation. Earlier Tuesday, The Zioneer reported that the reform had been pulled from the agenda after failing to secure a vote, amid pressure from Haredi parties. The ministry's statement suggests that failure to pass the law could have tangible consequences for commuters. The bill's fate remains uncertain as coalition partners continue to negotiate over the legislative schedule.
