[79463] The Knesset has rejected the VAT exemption order for the second time by a majority vote


The bill for the VAT exemption failed again in the Knesset plenum after receiving a clear majority of opponents in the vote held today.

The Knesset has rejected the VAT exemption order for the second time

Another defeat for the VAT exemption initiative was recorded this evening in the Knesset plenum, after the order was defeated in a vote for the second time. According to reports, the results of the vote stood at 59 opponents against only 23 supporters.

The report on the failure of the move came from two main channels. News from the Field on Telegram, which is characterized by a critical stance toward Netanyahu, noted that "the VAT exemption order fell again in the Knesset plenum". At the same time, correspondent Dafna Liel, who usually covers the political system and presents a more favorable stance toward the government's work, confirmed the data and stated that "the VAT exemption order has fallen again".

The significant gap between the number of opponents and supporters highlights the difficulty of the coalition or the initiators of the proposal to advance the move within the plenum at this stage.
