Likud's Minister of Regional Cooperation Ofir Akunis said on Sunday that Israel will not go to elections in 2020.
According to Akunis, Knesset is close to passing a bill that will postpone the deadline for submission of the state budget, which will see potential elections delayed by another half a year.
The state budget has become a highly contested issue within the coalition Blue & White insist on a biennial budget as was agreed upon in the coalition deal between the centrist party and Likud, while Likud insists on passing a budget for one year.
