Knesset rejects 3 non-confidence motions by opposition factions

The Knesset plenum rejected three non-confidence motions proposed separately by the Kadima faction, the National Union faction and the Arab parties.

Kadima faction members who usually vote in favor of motions of non-confidence abstained from voting on the National Union faction's motion of non-confidence regarding "the prime minister's declaration that there is a national consensus on the two states for two peoples solution and the defense minister's commitment to evacuating settlements".
