The chairman of Israel Beitenu, Avigdor Lieberman, proposes to cancel the winter break of the Knesset following the war of iron swords. In a letter that Lieberman sent to the chairman of the Knesset, Amir Ohana, he wrote that "the elected officials are required to understand the magnitude of the hour and act with all the means at our disposal for the sake of the citizens" and read to announce the cancellation of the break that should start at the beginning of April.
Ohana this week published the schedules for the remaining Knesset seats for 2024, and announced that the winter conference will end on April 7 - more than two weeks before Passover.
The break, therefore, will last about 6 weeks until the opening of the summer conference after Independence Day on May 19, which will last until the end of July.
The opposition estimates that the relatively short times of the conferences are intended to reduce the risks and possibilities of overthrowing the government through moves of constructive no-confidence or dispersing the Knesset for the elections.

Still, Lieberman today appealed to Ohana to cancel the winter recess and continue the parliamentary work during the spring holidays as well.
"On the seventh of October, the State of Israel experienced the worst terrorist attack that has occurred here since the establishment of the state. Thousands of citizens were slaughtered, others were injured physically and mentally, and over a hundred thousand people were evacuated from their homes in the south of the country and in the north," he wrote in his letter.
"Hundreds of thousands of reservists left everything, their homes, their jobs, and mobilized to lend a hand in the difficult campaign. Some of them, even in these moments, are still fighting and guarding our security. In the days when the citizens of Israel are facing security, economic, and social challenges, the families of the abducted are fighting for their return, residents are displaced from their homes , the business owners cry out for help, the wives of the reservists stand as heroes in the face of difficult difficulties they face every day."
According to Lieberman, "We elected officials are also required to understand the magnitude of the hour and to work tirelessly for them with all the means at our disposal, including in the Knesset committees and the plenum, in promoting legislation and continuing parliamentary activity. In light of the above, I am turning to you to request the cancellation of the winter recess that is about to begin Effective this coming April."
