Knesset committee okays vote to dissolve itself
The Knesset Arrangements Committee approves tonight’s plenum vote on Likud-drafted bill to dissolve the Knesset and trigger new elections.
MKs will debate the measure in the plenum this evening, and a preliminary vote on the bill is expected late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
If the bill passes, Israel would be in uncharted waters — sending the political system into disarray with a second snap election in just a matter of months.
