The Spin
Right narrative
Ben-Gvir and other members of Netanyahu's coalition must straighten up and end these ridiculous theatrics. Netanyahu, who is still recovering from surgery, was forced from his hospital bed so that this budget bill could be passed. These antics risked the coalition's viability, as failing to pass the budget could have led to early elections. Thankfully, Netanyahu is in good health and can manage these issues.
Left narrative
Netanyahu and his far-right allies continue to demonstrate that they are unable to run a functioning government, making a mockery of Israel's democratic system. Indeed, the ruling coalition was forced to stage a filibuster in the plenum to delay the vote so that it could get the necessary votes to pass the bill.
Pro-Palestine narrative
Regardless of the latest political crisis in Israel, the country's genocide in Gaza has continued unabated. "Cease-fire" talks have acted as a ruse by the Americans to provide Israel with diplomatic cover as it continue its genocide. Indeed, it's quite clear that Israel's political and military leadership have decided that a drawn-out campaign in Gaza is in Israel's best interest.
