The parliament vote grants the embattled PM the chance at months of political stability as pressure mounts over the Gaza war.

The budget passed by 66 votes in the 120-seat Knesset, or parliament. Netanyahu, who by law had until the end of this month to pass the bill or face new elections, spent the past several weeks shoring up his parliamentary majority.

Israel’s parliament approved the state budget for this year, boosting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after days of market turmoil related to the conflict in Gaza and the government trying to fire top officials.
