Has Gafni's bluff been called?

It is official. There is no chance that the amended draft law will be worked out before the budget has to come to a vote next week.

So, what happens now? MK Gafni (UTJ) threatened that he will not allow the budget vote in his Finance Committee until the new draft law is passed. As per the coalition agreements.

Now that this is impossible, does Gafni back down? Has his bluff been called? Will he bring down the government next week by not allowing the budget vote or by voting against it?

Note: this is only one of the multiple threats to the budget vote, and to the government, in place right now, though it is the one that seems to be the most immediate.
