Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe dispute between the Likud and Blue and White parties regarding whether to approve a state budget for one or two years is so severe that the parties are reportedly weighing postponing the deadline for approving it.

In the present situation, if the budget isn’t approved by August 24, the Knesset will automatically dissolve.
