Bill to disperse Knesset fails to advance after Haredi factions agree to withhold support
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe opposition-backed bill to disperse the Knesset fails to pass its preliminary plenum reading, with lawmakers voting it down 61-53 after most Haredi lawmakers agree not to support the proposal.
Lawmakers from Agudath Israel faction split after the Hasidic faction said it would back the bill, with two of its MKs voting in favor of disbanding parliament and one opposing the measure.
The failure of the bill to pass means the opposition cannot again file a motion to disband parliament for another six months.
