GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Israeli opposition withdrew Nov. 21 motions to dissolve the Knesset due to the lack of majority support for such motions within the Knesset. If the opposition submits proposals now and these are voted down, then it would not be able to submit them again for another six months, according to Knesset procedure.

Haaretz newspaper reported that the opposition is waiting for a more opportune time to reintroduce the motions as it wants the government to be unstable in order to guarantee that they would pass.
