Coalition pushes to dissolve Knesset, elections could come sooner
The governing coalition filed a bill to dissolve the Knesset with broad backing, aiming to move up Israel’s election date (no earlier than 3 months, no later than 5 months after passage) with a preliminary reading set for next week, amid a dispute over the ultra-Orthodox draft bill; the opposition has its own dissolution bill awaiting a vote, signaling a broader push toward early elections.
