HMM: Israel’s coalition loses majority as Yamina MK Silman quits government: Bennett and Lapid to meet over coalition crisis, Netanyahu congratulates Silman’s decision. “With this, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s government loses its majority in the Knesset, leaving it neck-and-neck with the opposition at 60-60. If another MK were to leave the coalition, the government could be brought down in a law brought by the opposition that would disperse the Knesset. Should the opposition have a majority, they would be able to attempt to form a government without even needing to go to elections. The more coalition members that defect, the easier this option becomes for them.”
