Israel's parliament passes a national budget for the first time in three years, clearing a major hurdle for PM Bennett's new government
The ruling coalition headed by Israeli PM Bennett includes eight parties from across the political spectrum.
MPs approved on Thursday a 609 billion shekel spending plan for 2021 and are to resume debate later in the day on a 573 billion shekel package for next year. The legislature voted 61-59 vote in favour of the 2021 budget in a test for Bennett's coalition of right-wing, centrist, left-wing and Palestinian parties.
Failure to pass the budget by November 14 would have brought down the government that was sworn into office in June and triggered a fifth election in barely three years, giving Netanyahu an opportunity to return to power.
