Knesset to convene on no-confidence motion for Netanyahu
Israel’s parliament will convene soon to discuss a motion of no-confidence against Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, Al Jazeera reports.
The motion was submitted by the Labour party in reaction to the government’s failure to bring back captives held in Gaza, N12 reports. A party statement said dozens of Israelis have been held for 108 days and their lives are in imminent danger, according to Al Jazeera.
“Under this government they were abandoned and kidnapped. It is this government that is not making the necessary decisions to save them and bring them all home now.
“We expect all factions of the opposition to support the motion of no-confidence and to demand the government answers the questions that do not allow any citizen in the state of Israel to sleep in peace.”
