Internal Affairs Committee approves pushing municipal elections to February 27

The Internal Affairs and Environment Committee approves delaying municipal elections to February 27.

Of the committee, 13 members voted in favor of the delay, MK Walid Taha of Ra’am abstained and Youssef Atuana of Hadash-Ta’al voted against, a statement from the Knesset says.

The vote comes a day after the cabinet voted unanimously to postpone the elections amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which presents challenges to candidates and voters alike.
