    Supreme Court to weigh petitions on alternative government

    The Supreme Court is set to consider petitions by the Movement for Quality of Government against the "Hauser Compromise" as well as the government's inability to pass a budget.

    The group claims that the amendments to the Basic Laws of the Knesset and state economy are unconstitutional and that the Knesset abused its authority by not passing a budget. The movement also claims that "there are two separate governments in Israel, each headed by a different prime minister," and that this "paralyzes the executive branch, undermining parliamentary democracy."
