Likud faction whip Miki Zohar announces he has cancelled parliamentary sanctions against a number of the ruling party’s lawmakers for allegedly violating coalition discipline, during a political coalition crisis over the state budget that is threatening to plunge Israel into elections for the fourth time since April 2019.

“I’m happy to see excellent and efficient conduct of the Likud faction over the past week. Only by working together, with the help of God, we can bring many more important accomplishments to State of Israel,” Zohar tweets.

He adds: “I’ve informed faction members in letters that all the sanctions are cancelled. This is the time to unite ranks. When we work together, we’re stronger than anyone.”
