At a right-wing faction meeting, Bennett addressed the impending budget transfer.

"There is no penny from the state budget that goes to Gaza, or Hamas. There is no such budget item and there will not be one. It is a fundamental lie," he said.

"There is one answer to all this and that is the transfer of the budget. Once we pass the budget it will give us stability. We do not have to prove that we are right-wing and we do not have to prove that we have won."

The debates opened yesterday morning in the plenum with a speech by the chairman of the Finance Committee, MK Alex Kushnir, as well as speeches by the chairmen of the committees that promoted the reforms in the arrangement laws.

The discussions last about 33 hours, during which mainly members of the opposition from the Likud, the ultra-Orthodox factions and the joint list are expected to oppose the budget, in accordance with a pre-determined schedule.

The deadline for budget approval is November 14th. If the budget is not approved by this date - which will mark 145 days for the formation of the government - the Knesset will dissolve and Israel will go to the polls. The coalition started voting earlier than expected to prepare for the possibility that the budget will not pass in the next ballot. In addition, the approval of the budget requires a simple majority of Knesset members, and in a situation of a draw like 60 supporters in front of a similar number of opponents, the budget will not pass.

The state budget for calculating the expenditure limit is NIS 432 billion for 2021, and NIS 452 billion for 2022. However, another NIS 10 billion was added for 2022 for dealing with the corona. On the way to approving the current budget, coalition funds amounting to NIS 2.2 billion were agreed for the two budget years (880 million for 2021, and 1.22 billion for 2022), a decision that drew harsh criticism from the coalition that previously opposed the phenomenon. In addition, a pool of NIS 150 million was agreed upon to finance bills that will be submitted. In return, a horizontal cut of 1% was agreed in all government ministries.
