Bennett threw in the towel after Orbach said he’d topple the government — source

A source close to the matter says that part of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s motivation for dissolving the Knesset of his own volition is that Yamina MK Nir Orbach has planned to vote to dissolve the Knesset, a move that the 59-member political minority cannot defend itself against.

Hebrew media reports indicate the most likely election date is October 25.
