Knesset Speaker Mickey Levy has announced his support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to postpone a vote on a controversial overhaul of the Israeli coalition government. However, he warns that the delay could endanger the stability of the coalition.
In an interview with Army Radio, Levy stated that he will “respect the prime minister's decision,” but also expressed concern about the risks of postponing the vote. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a stable government and cautioned against taking any actions that could jeopardize the unity of the coalition.
Levy's comments come in the wake of Netanyahu's decision to delay a vote on a proposed reform that would increase the minimum threshold for political parties to enter the Knesset. The reform has been a point of contention within the coalition government, with some members expressing concern that it could lead to smaller parties being shut out of the political process.
Despite these concerns, Netanyahu has defended the proposed overhaul, arguing that it is necessary to ensure greater stability in Israeli politics. He has also expressed confidence that the reform will ultimately be approved, despite the current delay.
While Knesset Speaker Levy has pledged to support Netanyahu's decision on the matter, he has also called on the prime minister to take steps to address the concerns of coalition members who are opposed to the reform. He stressed that it is important to maintain a spirit of cooperation and compromise within the government in order to ensure its long-term stability.
With tensions running high within the coalition, it remains to be seen how the issue will ultimately be resolved. However, both Netanyahu and Levy have emphasized the importance of working together to maintain a strong and stable government for the Israeli people.
