Is the Likud learning from its opponents? Likud is planning a constitutional change that will prevent the government from being overthrown, at least for the first year.
MK Eliyahu Revivo spoke this morning (Sunday) with Gadi Ness on Radio Zafon 104.5FM and spoke about a bill he is working on - a law that would stipulate that in order to overthrow a government in its first year of office, a majority of 70 MKs would be required, instead of the current 61.
This is a law reminiscent of the government stability plan presented by the state camp list before the elections, according to which the Knesset can only be dissolved with a majority of 70 Knesset members, and in addition, failure to pass a budget will not result in the automatic dissolution of the Knesset.

Another amendment to the law that MK Revivo mentioned is an amendment that stipulates that only one of the two leaders of the largest factions in the Knesset can present a candidacy for prime minister.
It is unclear how such a clause would have a majority in the Knesset in light of the fact that the two largest parties in it - Likud and Yesh Atid - do not together reach 61 Knesset members.
