The Israeli parliament dissolved ahead of schedule

Meeting of the Israeli Parliament

The country’s early elections, which will be the fourth in less than two years, will be held on March 23 next year.

The Jewish state parliament was automatically dissolved on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, December 23, due to the expiration of the 2020 state budget approval deadline. It was reported by state radio Kan.

It should be noted that the early elections in the country will be held on March 23 of next year.

“We are going to the elections again. We are facing a difficult period. The doors of the 23rd Knesset (Israeli parliament – ed.) Are closing,” said President Yariv Levin at the end of the last plenary session of parliament.

At the same time, current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will remain in this position until the new government, formed after the elections, is sworn in.

Let us remind you that the March parliamentary elections will be the fourth in Israel in less than two years. The previous vote, which took place on March 2, 2020, ended the political crisis in the country that lasted for more than 500 days.

In the last election, Netanyahu’s party Likud she won by a small margin, but she and her allies did not win a parliamentary majority.

Only in late April did Netanyahu and Knesset Chairman Benny Gantz announce their decision to form a grand coalition after the elections and announced that they had signed an agreement to create a government of national unity.
