Likud cancels weekly faction meeting
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party cancels its weekly faction meeting.
The Walla news site quotes party members as saying the meeting was canceled due to “personal obligations” of coalition chairman MK David Amsalem.
The decision to cancel the meeting comes as the coalition remains on shaky ground over legislation exempting ultra-Orthodox students from military enlistment, which cleared its first legislative hurdle this morning despite opposition by Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu party.
