Another bill that is expected to go up in the plenum is that of the Yesh Atid-TLAM faction, according to which the prime minister accused of crimes will not be able to serve in his position. If the bill falls in the plenum vote, it will not be able to go up again for half a year. And if one of the factions submits them, they will only be able to go to the polls after the summer recess.

The Blue and White faction said it would not vote: "Our principled position on the issue has not changed and will not change, but at this time, it is merely an attempt to undermine the stability of the entire political system. In the midst of one of the most serious crises in history, "An economic disaster on the economy and they will tear Israeli society to pieces."

"Blue and white urges all factions in the House, including the Likud, to come to their senses and work together for the benefit of the country's citizens, who do not want or need another political upheaval at their expense. It is time to approve a long-term budget. Judge him for acting for himself and against the Israeli public. "

Earlier this week, Defense Minister Bnei Gantz called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to support the proposal to postpone the budget: "Any other decision has no substantive explanation and elections at this time are a spit in the citizens' faces. From the agenda, and instead of panicking, we will allow the public certainty. "

The prime minister replied to Gantz, saying: "We have a budget that is ready and adapted to Corona, exactly what the citizens of Israel need today. It pours money into the pockets of the citizens, as well as businesses, it is ready and that is what needs to be transferred and can be done immediately."
