Israel’s 2021 budget was passed in the Knesset on Thursday morning in the third reading by a vote of 61-59.
Voting in this year’s budget, which had to pass by November 14 to prevent elections from being initiated, was set to continue throughout Thursday night. The economic arrangements bill, which contained key reforms, was the first bill to pass, followed by the 2021 state budget.
The Knesset began marathon voting on the 2021 state budget on Wednesday night, following a stormy session that featured the nastiest verbal fight yet between Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and his predecessor, opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu.
