Opposition yanks no-confidence votes after fragile coalition manages to garner majority

The opposition has pulled three no-confidence measures against the government after learning that the 61-member coalition had managed to pull together enough votes that would have seen them defeat the move.

Opposition chairman Tzipi Livni says in response, “We pulled the bill to dissolve the Knesset, but we will not take the subject off the public agenda.”

Earlier today, Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon told Israel Radio that his Kulanu party would not vote in favor of a no-confidence measure after suggesting earlier that it might.
