Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party did not support the legislation

And it still passed 25:24 Thats how you know how fucked up Israel government is

Netanyahu & co. not supporting this measure confuses me.

He promised Trumpet that he wouldnt annex the West Bank, maybe he has a reason to keep his promise this time idk

Hmm. Generally speaking, I think that the Parliament can pass a bill NOT supported by the PM's party is a good thing.

Not this bill, mind you.

...passed by a vote of 25-24 out of 120 lawmakers. A second bill by an opposition party proposing the annexation of the Maale Adumim settlement won by 31-9.

Feel like the article probably should have gone into more detail about that part. Certainly I feel that needs more details.
