JERUSALEM/3 (Reuters) - Israel's parliament gave its initial nod to the state's budget draft for 2015-16 late on Wednesday, after a marathon session that included heavy resistance from opposition lawmakers, with 57 voting in favour and 53 against.
The budget next heads to parliament's finance committee, where it could undergo changes. The government hopes to get final parliamentary approval by Nov. 19 for the 13-month plan, which covers December 2015 though 2016.
