Key coalition partner says won’t back Jewish nation-state bill
The Jewish nation-state bill, a key plank of Likud’s legislative agenda, may not have the votes to move ahead. Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, head of the 10-seat Kulanu party, tells Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Sunday’s meeting of coalition leaders that Kulanu will not support the bill, the Ynet news site reports.
That leaves the bill without a Knesset majority.
Netanyahu has asked his new coalition whip, MK David Amsalem, to prioritize the bill’s passage.
