The government lost three out of five no-confidence votes in the Knesset on Monday, as Shas MKs shunned the plenum in protest of coalition actions.You can see here that the government's survival does depend in part upon Shas's willingness to support it, so they should be paid attention to. The question thus still remains if they are going to act responsibly and make a departure from a government that isn't worth their time to begin with.
The blow to the coalition was a symbolic one only, as the opposition did not achieve a majority of 61 MKs needed to bring down the government.
Shas abstained from the vote due to the coalition's approval of Labor MK Avishai Braverman's appointment to chair of the Knesset's Finance Committee, a move it opposed.
