US EditionNetanyahu's coalition skips parliamentary vote backing Trump's Gaza plan
Netanyahu's coalition boycotted a symbolic Knesset vote on Trump's Gaza plan, which passed 39-0 with low participation amid coalition divisions over Palestinian statehood.
- On Dec 3, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's governing coalition skipped a Knesset vote endorsing U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza plan.
- Having already backed the plan publicly, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, avoided the vote since some coalition partners oppose Trump's Gaza plan and the allusion to Palestinian statehood.
- Less than a third of Israel's 120 lawmakers participated, with 39 supporters and none against; some Likud party lawmakers abstained and a single interjecting Likud lawmaker disrupted proceedings.
- Opponents and foreign officials reacted, with Yair Lapid posting on X that `Israel now officially endorses and adopts President Trump's plan` and U.S. Vice President JD Vance calling the vote stupid, while a preliminary parliamentary vote passed 25 in favour and 24 against the annexation call.
- In the backdrop, Trump's Knesset address in October drew a standing ovation, and the story was reported by Alexander Cornwell with editing by Ed Osmond.
