Knesset to extend summer session by a week

The Knesset will continue it activities until August 2, extending its planned summer session by a week, Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein and his deputies decided Monday.
"This will be a shorter recess than in most years, but this is a requirement of reality, because the Knesset only recently began to work fully," Edelstein explained.
While the Knesset is in recess, the Finance Committee will hold meetings on the 2015-2016 budget and its first reading will be brought to a vote from August 31-September 2. The budget must pass in its final reading by early November.
The summer session will end a week after Tisha B@@@Av, while in most years it ends before. The Knesset will continue regular activities in October, after Sukkot, as it usually does.
Edelstein@@@s scheduling recommendations will have to go to a vote in the Knesset House Committee.
