(Worthy News) – Regional Cooperation Minister Ofir Akunis warned Monday that if the Blue and White party does not back a single-year budget as pushed by his Likud party, the latter will seek to replace the unity coalition with an alternative government of 61 MKs.
His remarks came a day after the coalition whip said that the government between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party and Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s Blue and White was heading for “a divorce.”
Likud is currently at loggerheads with Blue and White over whether to pass a one-year budget, as Netanyahu insists, or the two-year budget pushed by Gantz, who is also alternate prime minister. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
