Sharon Wins Budget Vote Amid Coalition Instability
Israel’s parliament backed the budget but the move exposed a fragile coalition. Prime Minister Sharon dismissed two Orthodox ministers from Shas and United Torah Judaism after their parties opposed the budget cuts. If those factions depart, his bloc would hold 60 of 120 seats, risking a no confidence vote. Finance Minister Shalom claimed stability, saying the government is stronger and that dissent would not be tolerated. The crisis centered on economics rather than security, with cuts targeting subsidies and welfare for low income Israelis, a core Orthodox stake.
