None
The State budget for 2013-2013 has been approved at second and third readings at the Knesset plenum in a 58-43 vote. The budget was approved following a 15-hour session which began with speeches by the finance minister and opposition chairwoman.
During the debate, the opposition raised thousands of objections to delay the vote but withdrew some of them later on. (Moran Azulay)
