After prostate surgery, despite objections from his doctors, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who came to the Knesset, reacted to the opposition of his coalition partner, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, to the tax bill.
After undergoing prostate surgery, Netanyahu came to the Parliament from his hospital bed due to his coalition partner's opposition to the tax bill.
CRISIS WITH COALITION PARTNER!
Cold winds are blowing between Netanyahu and his coalition partner, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Coalition partner Ben-Gvir and members of his party Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) announced that they would vote against the tax bill that the Netanyahu government wants to pass.
ONLY 2 DAYS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE PROSTATE SURGERY
Following this announcement, Netanyahu came to the Parliament from the hospital in West Jerusalem, just 2 days after his prostate surgery.
Despite his doctors' advice not to leave the hospital, Netanyahu participated in the vote in the Parliament.
The tax bill was approved with a vote of 59-58, despite some members of Ben-Gvir and his party voting against it.
NETANYAHU TARGETED BEN-GVIR
After the bill's approval, Netanyahu made a written statement on his social media account. Netanyahu targeted coalition partner Ben-Gvir, who opposed the bill.
Arguing that shaking the right-wing coalition he leads and putting the government at risk of collapse would be "a great irresponsibility and madness," Netanyahu stated, "I expect all members of the coalition, including Minister Ben-Gvir, to stop shaking the coalition and endangering the existence of a right-wing government at a critical moment in Israel's history."
