Knesset votes to extend state of emergency for another year
The Knesset has voted to extend the country’s state of emergency until December 16, 2025 in accordance with the recommendation of the security cabinet.
Twenty-nine MKs voted in support of the resolution, while seven voted against.
The Knesset last extended the state of emergency in May but then did so for only six months.
The state of emergency allows the cabinet to issue regulations that override Knesset legislation.
