Deputy Transportation Minister Uri Maklev from the Degel HaTorah party (United Torah Judaism) said upon leaving a meeting with Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein that "what's important is that the government remains this week." Despite the agreements between the ultra-Orthodox and Edelstein, and although it appears the opposition doesn't have a majority in the vote to dissolve the Knesset, there is currently an intention to vote regardless. Maklev added that "in a few days we'll see everything and with God's help the government will continue to function this week. No one backed down."
