PM late returning to Israel, threatening presence at outpost bill vote
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetanyahu’s return flight from London to Israel is delayed, casting doubts on whether he will be able to make it back to the Knesset in time for the vote on the controversial outpost bill.
The flight was supposed to take off at 5 p.m. local time (7 p.m. Israel time), at which time the prime minister was still at the Foreign Office. The plane is now expected to land at 1 a.m. Israel time.
The vote on the bill is set to go ahead without the prime minister’s presence, as sources in the Prime Minister’s Office say the government has a majority to ensure its passage.
