Severe crisis in relations between the Likud and Blue and White. Tonight (Thursday) it was reported in the news company that no agenda has yet been set for the cabinet meeting. This is a significant event that probably never occurred. At the basis of the dispute between the parties is another clause in the coalition agreement that Blue and White demands to be complied with, while the Likud does not carry out. 

According to the current distribution of cases, the bloc of the Likud and the ultra-Orthodox parties has an advantage of three votes in the government over the bloc of Blue and White and the Labor Party. However, the coalition agreement stipulates that the government should be parasitic - that is, that the portfolios be divided equally between the two blocs. This situation will take effect as soon as the government regulations, which have not yet been voted on, are approved. In blue and white, they now want to approve the bylaws even before the vote on the budget, in order to reach it in a state of equality, while the Likud refuses to do so.

In blue and white, they demand that the change in the government's bylaws be raised at the cabinet meeting, which will allow it to vote parietally (equally) in the votes. The main concern in the blue and white of the Likud is not raising the change in the bylaws in order to transfer a budget that is at the center of the controversy, even without blue and white.

The Likud said last night that the cabinet meeting was not canceled, but as of tonight there is no agenda. In blue and white, they say that this is indeed a serious crisis, and according to them, "Netanyahu has decided to dismantle the government."

Blue and white have reached the point of no return regarding the postponement of the government's bylaws and they demand that it be raised this coming Sunday for the cabinet meeting. 

Sources in blue and white claimed in a conversation with Israel Today that "the government was formed two and a half months ago and has been postponing the government's bylaws from the agenda for weeks." 

According to party sources, there is no fear that this is an "exercise" by the Likud. They said that "we believe that the matter will be resolved and clarify that any issue related to the treatment of Corona will of course be on the agenda for us."
