Thousands of Israelis took to the streets in Tel Aviv, the capital city of Israel, today, Thursday. The demonstrators protested against Israel’s Prime Minister  Naftali Bennett and called for toppling the government and bringing back of former PM to power.

However, Haaretz, an Israeli daily newspaper, said that Fatin Mulla, a KM, spoke to pro-Likud protesters, saying the Arab Joint List led by MK Mansour Abbas, takes Jews’ funds and kills Israeli soldiers.

TEL Aviv’s protest was the largest of its. Some protesters hold placards written with phrases against Israel’s Premier accusing him of working on demolishing the Jewish state.

It is worth noting that for the first time in three years a half, the governing coalition in Israel was able to pass the draft law of public budget for the current fiscal year and avoid head for new parliamentary elections.

The Knesset passed today’s dawn over the second and third reading the new budget after a sitting lasted for the whole night. The governing coalition succeeded in thwarting all reservations stirred by the opposition led by the Likud chairmen former PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Sixty-one MKs voted in favor of the new budget that amounts to NIS 609 billion (about $ 194 billion).

Fifty-nine MKs voted against the draft law of the budget.

Israel’s Premier Bennett tweeted welcoming adaptation of the budget as saying after years of chaos, the governing coalition formed the government, overcame the Delta strain of the Coronavirus (known also as COVID-19), and now ratifies the public budget, thank goodness!

However, ratifying the new budget in Israel was the main challenge for Bennett’s government because Israel will head for new legislative elections if the budget wouldn’t be passed by November 14.

On the other hand, Israeli lawmakers resumed this morning discussions over the next fiscal year that amounts to NIS 573 billion ( $183 billion) and the draft law of economic arrangement that defines details of Israel’s fiscal plan.
