MK Merav Michaeli (Zionist Union), chairman of the Zionist Union party and organizer of the opposition, has promised Knesset Chairman Yuli Edelstein (Likud) that the opposition will boycott the plenum unless the chairman of the coalition, MK David Bitan (Likud), stops his "bullying."
An exasperated Bitan previously promised that the coalition will vote along partisan lines, after chief opposition parties Yesh Atid and the Zionist Union filibustered the budget bill yesterday while it was still in committee.
