Netanyahu To Make Statement About ‘Israeli’ Elections

By Staff, Agencies

Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will deliver a statement about the possibility of early elections for the ‘Israeli’ occupation entity at his Likud faction meeting on Monday at 3pm, his spokesman said.

Meanwhile, Blue and White announced earlier Monday that it would present three bills the Likud opposes.

The ‘Israeli’ Army Radio reported earlier Monday that so-called Finance Minister ‘Israel’ Katz [Likud] has drafted a compromise that could be used to end the dispute between the Likud and Blue and White over the 2021 entity’s budget.

According to the proposal, the 2020 and 2021 budgets would be presented together to the cabinet for approval next week and then advanced separately in the Knesset. The 2020 budget would be passed into law by the December 23 deadline and the 2021 budget by February.

Blue and White leader Benny Gantz is demanding that the 2021 budget be passed by the end of the year.

Another possible compromise reported would have Blue and White agree to extend the deadline for passing the budget in return for a bill that would require Netanyahu to enable the rotation in the Prime Minister's Office to take place next November.
