A bill from MK Zvi Hauser (Derech Eretz) to extend the deadline to pass a state budget until November passed Wednesday in a preliminary reading.
The bill would allow the cabinet a 200-day period to approve a state budget, double what the current bill allows for. If Hauser's bill does not pass a second and third reading, the Knesset will dissolve itself on Aug. 25, and Israel will hold another election.
