According to information from government circles, Israel is again facing new elections. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Secretary Jair Lapid announced on Monday that they will introduce a bill next week to dissolve parliament. All “attempts to stabilize the coalition” were “exhausted,” it said. Lapid must lead the government for the transition phase.
According to media reports, the elections could take place at the end of October. It would be the fifth election in nearly four years. Bennett’s coalition government has been in office for a year and has been shaky for a while. In April, the multi-party coalition lost its razor-thin majority of 61 out of 120 seats after a member of parliament left the alliance.
The opposition around ex-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demands Bennett’s resignation. Netanyahu hopes to return to power.
