Bill to dissolve 22nd Knesset, initiate elections passes first reading

Legislation to dissolve the 22nd Knesset and initiate snap elections on March 2 has passed its first reading in the special parliamentary committee formed to draft the bill.

The legislation will need to pass two more readings before midnight to allow for the holding of elections eight days earlier than the 90 days after the Knesset dissolves, as mandated by law.
