Israel will go to the polls for the fifth time in just over three years. On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and his Foreign Minister Yair Lapid announced that they will pass a bill to dissolve Parliament in order to seek a new election. Meanwhile, Lapid will assume the role of prime minister, according to a statement.
After Lapid takes office, it is expected that next week there will be a vote in the Legislative on the dissolution of Parliament and future elections. Bennet and Lapid have formed a key alliance since June 2021, forming a coalition after years of political deadlock and the end of the term of Benjamin Netanyahu, who was in power for 11 years.
This alliance was formed after a coalition of eight parties, including an Arab party. However, this alliance was fragile from the start, with a parliamentary majority divided over political issues, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and matters of state and religion, resulting in a significant coalition loss.
