The Knesset easily defeated two motions of no-confidence in the government on Monday.

A Kadima party motion citing the government's delay of decisions garnered only 29 of the 61 votes needed to pass, with 58 Members of Knesset voting against and two abstentions.

A motion by the predominantly Arab parties claiming discrimination against the Arab sector was opposed by 59 Knesset members, with only 24 voting in favor.
