MK Sharren Haskel (Likud) is in the hospital for treatment, but since Opposition leader Tzipi Livni did not want to offer the courtesy of offsetting a vote from their side, Haskel had to go to the Knesset by ambulance with an IV in her arm, against her doctor’s orders, to show up for the vote.

If the Israeli government coalition isn't on life support, it's at least on an IV. Against the hospital's advice, Member of Israeli Parliament @SharrenHaskel came to parliament to vote on a bill, telling @Mike_Wagenheim the coalition will be able to pull through: pic.twitter.com/dVK4stkY1h

Once the opposition learned the government had a 61-seat majority, they pulled all 3 of their bills to disperse the Knesset.
