Likud allies express support for Netanyahu’s push to cancel new elections
Parties allied with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud quickly express support for a potential move to cancel the September elections.
Kulanu, United Torah Judaism, Shas and the Union of Right-Wing Parties all support the idea, though it isn’t yet clear whether it is legally possible.
Even if it is, Netanyahu will need the support of at least one more party to gain the necessary majority to pass legislation making it possible for the Knesset to retroactively walk back its dissolution.
