If budget is not agreed on Tuesday, parliament will dissolve and trigger snap election in March
Israel appeared on track to tumble into its fourth election cycle within two years after efforts to keep a fractious coalition government intact looked likely to fail ahead of a midnight deadline.
Unless the government, beset by infighting and distrust, can pass a budget by the end of Tuesday (10pm GMT), the country’s parliament will automatically dissolve and trigger a snap election in March 2021.
