The opposition is refusing to lend a hand in order to pass legislation necessary for Israel to be added to the US Visa Waiver Program along with a bill to advance Israel’s largest-ever infrastructure project.

As a result, both bills are almost certain not to pass before the Knesset votes to dissolve itself later tonight.
