There's not a whole heap that we agree upon
But on this, we are 100% on the same page
As I understand this process though, doesn't it need 4 votes in favour to disband parliament and force an election /
Correct. If it passes tonight there will be three more readings which require a simple majority vote.
I think those stages are only skipped if the state budget fails to pass, then the Knesset is dissolved automatically.
If this bill fails, we're stuck with him for at least another six months, which is the statutory period before another dissolution bill can be brought to the plenum.
From what I'm hearing the vote will take place around 3am Israel time and the session is prepared to go on through the night if necessary.
