 The Knesset began what is set to be a 33-hour debate on the 2021 and 2022 state budgets on Tuesday morning. 

On Wednesday night, the MKs will begin voting on some 600 items relating to the 2021 state budget, its accompanying economic arrangements bill and then the 2022 state budget. 

Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly violated coalition agreements and refused to pass a budget, leaving Israel without a state budget for over three years.
