[83964] Crisis in the Plenum: Gafni threatens to shut down coalition legislation against the backdrop of the Daycare Bill

Ultimatum from United Torah Judaism: 'The plenum can be shut down'

In the shadow of mounting political pressures, Knesset Member Moshe Gafni sent a sharp and clear message to his coalition partners. According to the report by Amir Ettinger & Yuval Segev, Gafni made it clear that if the daycare subsidy bill is not advanced, his party will not provide support for any other legislation, and that in such a situation, "the plenum can be shut down" [Gafni's message].

Political assessments for the future

The joint report by Amir Ettinger & Yuval Segev and the Political Updates channel indicates that the coalition leadership may yield to the Haredi pressure. Against the backdrop of the dramatic threat, there is a high probability that the coalition will decide to resume the advancement of the bill in an attempt to consolidate the majority required for its passage.

These channels, which are considered political sources close to the decision-making centers in the Knesset, emphasize that the current crisis puts the stability of parliamentary work to a significant test due to the government's dependence on the votes of United Torah Judaism.
