      Three New No-Confidence Measures


      The Knesset will vote on three new no-confidence measures against the government on Monday afternoon.  NU/NRP and UTJ proposed a no-confidence vote due to the government’s plans to “create a Palestinian state and divide Jerusalem.”  Likud sponsored a no-confidence measure due to “the Israeli government’s policy of one-sided concessions.”

      The Arab Knesset factions Hadash, Ra’am Ta’al, and Balad have proposed a no-confidence measure due to the state of Arab city councils, many of which have been disbanded or have failed to pay their employees for months.  Several other no-confidence measures were defeated in recent weeks.
