Confirming election date, parliament speaker says Passover to delay start of next Knesset
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKnesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein officially announces April 9 as the date for the next elections, saying that due to the week-long Passover festival that begin ten days later, the next Knesset’s first meeting will be three weeks after the vote rather than the normal two weeks.
Edelstein adds that he’s disappointed there has been no agreement on the ultra-Orthodox draft law, which is opposed by the Haredi parties and which Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid said today he will also oppose.
