On Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu`s government successfully passed a new two-year budget, a move that could bring some stability to his coalition and pave the way for the advancement of its religious and pro-settlement agenda, AP reported.

While the budget may provide Netanyahu with some respite within his coalition of ultra-Orthodox and ultranationalist parties, which constitutes Israel`s most hard-line government to date, it is also expected to deepen divisions within the country.
