Netanyahu suspends Vote on Land reform bill; PM: Labor will pay a price for their act

Government suspended the vote on Israel Land Administration reform bill although it was under way due to some Coalition MK's that were absent & Labor MK's that suddenly disappeared , and will bring the bill back for a vote next week as the Coalition will be secured with a Majority for the bill to pass (To note to Kadima's celebrations - That despite Kadima's hysteric reaction,& a united opposition including the 4 Labor rebels,the Coalition Removed Reservations that were brought to vote by a slight majority of 48-47).

Associates to the prime minister were commented that Mr. Netanyahu is Extremely angry and livid on the humiliation that the coalition went through in the Knesset due to the absent Coalition members and the Labor MK's despite recent agreements .His associates warned that there will be implications to the act of the Labor party, and also that the Slomianski law to be brought for a vote is now doubtful. Netanyahu is livid in addition on Likud members that made judgments for themselves and opposed the Bill.

Finance Minister Shtienitz responded: that "Labor got everything that wanted by the discussions in the committee, and didn't show up to vote. This is a disgrace.They got everything but are not giving anything back"
