Itamar Ben-Gvir has struck a deal with the governing coalition to secure a key abstention on the budget vote, giving the government a comfortable majority. Ben-Gvir agreed to abstain as a 'goodwill gesture' over the prime minister's decision to fire Shin Bet head Ronen Bar and Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara. The abstention paves the way for the passage of the Economics Arrangements Bill, which accompanies the national budget and includes necessary legal amendments. However, Ben-Gvir's support for the budget itself is still uncertain.
