In an effort to create a constitutional crisis (reminder, Israel has no constitution so this would only sort of create a sort of constitutional crisis even if it works) the Opposition parties led by Yesh Atid and Yair Lapid are considering having all their members resign from Knesset. They think that if they do this it will take away any legitimacy from the current government.
The report further says that Lapid is undecided about this at this time because he isnt sure he can trust the rest of the involved parties to follow through on it after he and his people will resign. Which is funny, but that is besides the point.
Personally I would like to see this happen just out of curiosity. I would like to see how such a move would play out. I would be curious to see if it works, how the laws would fall into place to secure a Knesset of 120 seats, to see what chaos would develop in its wake.
I say go for it!

Look at Fascist Italy. The Aventine Secession was successfully used by the new regime to consolidate its power. Not a good idea
