The coalition crisis is getting worse: The weekly cabinet meeting is not expected to take place tomorrow

Apparently, the regular meeting will not take place exceptionally due to disagreement on the agenda. At the center of the tension: a blue-and-white demand for approval of the government's labor regulations, which are intended to compensate for the gap in the number of ministers. The tension is also related to the budget crisis, which threatens to bring Israel to the elections by the end of the month if no agreement is reached.

The crisis between the Likud and blue and white is escalating into a very unusual event - at the moment, it seems that the weekly cabinet meeting will not take place tomorrow (Sunday) due to disagreements on the agenda. At the center of the tension is the demand of Blue and White to put to the vote the bylaws of the government, which have been waiting for this approval for several weeks.

The bylaws set rules and inferiorities for the conduct of the private government, and among other things regulate the voting mechanism designed to compensate for the gap in the number of ministers between the blocs and maintain equal and private conduct even though the right-wing bloc has many more ministers than white brush. In blue and white they refused to approve the publication of the agenda of the meeting that is due to take place tomorrow morning without the approval of the bylaws going to a vote.

Since according to the coalition agreement between the Likud and Blue and White, there must be agreement between the two blocs on the government's agenda, the dispute prevents the publication of the agenda for tomorrow's meeting. Over the weekend, there was a rift between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bureau and Bnei Gantz's deputy prime minister's office, so at this point it appears that the meeting will be canceled.

Tensions over the government's agenda are also linked to the budget crisis, which threatens to roll out the political system for elections by the end of the month if the Likud and Blue and White do not reach an agreement. In recent weeks, the Likud has threatened to bring the government a proposal for an annual budget, although the Blue and White still insist on passing a long-term budget, as stipulated in the coalition agreement.

In blue and white, they refuse to approve raising the issue on the agenda, and party officials have expressed concern that the Likud will raise the issue by surprise and try to force a vote in the government, in which the right-wing bloc has a majority. Without approving the government's work regulations, which compensate for the lack of equality in the number of ministers, blue and whites will find it difficult to block the proposal for an annual budget. In blue and white they say that as long as the government's work regulations are not approved, they will agree to promote and discuss only issues that are directly related to dealing with the corona virus.

If the Knesset does not approve any state budget by August 25, it will be automatically dispersed and Israel will run in the fourth election. In blue and white, Netanyahu is accused of completely violating the coalition agreement, in which a long-term biennial budget was agreed to give the government stability.

The Minister for Strategic Affairs, Orit Farkash, who is leading the budget issue, Blue and White Cargo, tweeted over the weekend that "no boxes and no adventures, no sticks and no tricks. We are in the 90th minute. . "According to her, 'If our partners are not able to put the public in 1st place, as we agreed, a route must be recalculated.'
