Elections? Not yet - Netanyahu accepted compromise to postpone approval of the budget by 100 days

The government will continue to function and the Knesset will not disperse tomorrow at midnight. This is after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday evening that he accepts the compromise proposal to postpone the approval of the state budget by one hundred days. He said, "This compromise proposal is the right answer for Israel at this time. It is time for unity, it is not time for elections." Netanyahu added that "the government must be stopped within the government. I hear on the radio wild attacks on the prime minister out of blue and white, out of the government. I say: enough is enough, enough." The prime minister seems to have succumbed to the pressure exerted on him by the ultra-Orthodox parties in desperate need of a budget for the yeshivot.
Netanyahu was asked about the appointment of the next Commissioner of Police and State Attorney, that Hauser's proposal freezes until the work of a committee examining senior appointments is completed. He added, "I want to understand not if I'm going to appoint, but how Nissenkorn is going to appoint?" - and repeated a claim made by the Likud that there is a possibility that there is a secret deal between Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn and Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit. "The ombudsman closes the case for him and Nissenkorn approves the appointments for him," Netanyahu said. However, a criminal case has never been opened for Nissenkorn.
Blue and White called on Netanyahu to "recover and return to see the good of the state and not his personal good." According to the party, "While nine million citizens expect unity and treatment of security and the Corona, the Likud is engaged in political exercises. This is a spit in the face of Israeli citizens for personal reasons."
A source in blue and white who is in contact with the Likud said earlier that "the Likud completely denies the agreement. They demand that the freezing of appointments be only on our side. That is, the Likud can appoint a commissioner but Blue and White will not be able to appoint the state attorney. They do not agree to approve the parole regulations as part of the understandings. They are not ready for a biennial budget. "He said," Netanyahu has decided to step on us completely in exchange for postponing the dissolution of the Knesset or going to the polls. "
A white brush was given in response to Netanyahu's words: "'Your deeds will bring you closer and your deeds will keep you away.'
Netanyahu is called upon to keep his promise, to prevent elections and to abide by the agreement, and to work for the health, livelihood and security of the citizens of Israel. It is time to tell the public what was also said in the negotiating chambers. There is one truth and one does not play with it - without sticks and without tricks. '
MK Hauser said in response to Netanyahu's announcement that he was "happy to hear that the prime minister has adopted the compromise proposal I made. It is a necessary condition, it is still not a sufficient condition. I hope that the Knesset will continue the legislative process. Only in this way will we save Israel from elections. "
Opposition leader Yair Lapid said: "So another hundred days without a budget and then an election? Is this their compromise? To continue Netanyahu's complete failure? Schools that will not open properly, self-employed who will not receive help, insane unemployment that will continue? You are tired of being disconnected. "
The Finance Committee is expected to convene to vote on a compromise proposal. The discussion in the committee began this afternoon, but was postponed until tonight at the request of Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin, to allow the Likud and Blue and White to reach understandings.
