Knesset Drama | Will the dissolution of the Knesset be delayed because of Deri?
Party Financing Bill, which anchors the date for the dissolution of the Knesset, sent back to committee after the Shas chairman refuses to bring it to a vote without broad consensus from the opposition
Assessment
A procedural standoff over the Party Financing Bill has stalled the mechanism that would set a date for dissolving the Knesset. Shas chairman Deri is blocking the vote unless the opposition agrees to the terms, creating uncertainty about the legislative calendar. The delay suggests coalition management is fraying, with a single party leader holding up a move that many expected to proceed smoothly. The next step is whether opposition leaders will negotiate or let the impasse continue.
