According to Israeli media, "the opposition withdrew two proposals to depose the government that were submitted to the Knesset," claiming that "it would not practice politics during the war as the government is currently busy.”
However, the Yesh Atid party told the Israeli Kan TV that if the budget is not amended, it would again submit a motion for a no-confidence vote and bring down the occupation government.
Israeli Channel 12 revealed that the Israeli Labor Party will submit a similar proposal from "the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," stressing its inability to "recover prisoners held by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza."
Netanyahu remaining in office 'a gamble'
Since October 7, more settlers are calling for Netanyahu’s removal, because he was "unable to achieve the two goals of the war on the Gaza Strip, namely eliminating the Hamas movement and releasing Israeli prisoners."
In this context, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz earlier called on the occupation government to remove Netanyahu from his position immediately "in a vote of no confidence," considering that his remaining in office "is a gamble with Israel's future."
It also addressed the leaders of the parties participating in the occupation government to isolate Netanyahu, saying, “The future of Israel is in your hands: show responsibility in this unfortunate time and do the right thing,” asking for the removal of Netanyahu.
This comes in parallel with the great pressure exerted by the families of "Israeli captives" in Gaza, demanding that the war be stopped or for a deal to be made with the Palestinian Resistance to negotiate their release.
It is worth noting that the Israeli Supreme Court postponed two weeks ago the implementation of a law that limits the possibility of dismissing the Prime Minister, until the next Knesset session, that is, after elections are held.
According to Israeli media, two days ago, settlers held huge demonstrations in "Tel Aviv", demanding the overthrow of the current occupation government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, and the holding of new elections.

Israeli settlers protest
"Israel" is grappling with significant casualties among its soldiers in Gaza, and the existing deep-seated divisions within the entity are widening further, as anti-government rallies swipe the entity.
An anti-government protest took place on January 20 in "Tel Aviv", demanding new elections and calling for the return of Israelis held captive by the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip.
The first speaker, Shirel Hogeg, accused Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of "playing politics with medicine for the hostages," referring to allegations that he concealed details of a Qatar-brokered deal to deliver medications to Israeli captives in Gaza from Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant.
An incident at the center of the protest, involving a counter-protester who fell and shouted accusations at the crowd, briefly disrupted the proceedings.
Yifat Calderon, the cousin of Israeli captive Ofer Calderon, also spoke to the crowd, calling on the government to “stop the fighting, to pay the price” for the captives.
In parallel, hundreds assembled outside the Israeli President's residence in occupied al-Quds for a demonstration arranged by the "Safeguarding Our Shared Homegroup," advocating for fresh elections. The group, known for organizing weekly protests against the judicial overhaul last year, has been demanding new elections for several weeks now.
