Attempt to cancel September vote fell through, Knesset speaker says

Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein says his efforts to convince lawmakers to cancel the September 17 elections have failed.

In a tweet posted today, Edelstein writes, “In recent days, I tried to push, for your benefit, the citizens of Israel, the cancellation of these unnecessary elections, saving us all billions [of shekels]. Unfortunately, not everyone would cooperate, so we’re not going to be able to cancel the elections.”
