From Blue and White to Likud: Show up to Knesset vote or we’ll force Purim election
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBlue and White has sent a warning to Likud, saying that if the entire right-wing slate does not show up to the Knesset to vote on the bill to dissolve the Knesset and initiate elections on March 2, the centrist alliance will also refrain from voting and allow the deadline to pass after which elections would be held on March 10, on the Purim holiday, Channel 12 reports.
The purpose of the legislation currently being debated in the Knesset is to make an exception to the law, which requires elections to be held 90 days from the dissolving of the Knesset. That date would have been March 10.
