Likud, Blue and White said discussing fresh elections if PM barred from forming government
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Likud and Blue and White parties are discussing including in their coalition agreement a clause to dissolve the Knesset and send Israel to fresh elections if Prime Minister Netanyahu is barred from forming a government due to his indictment on graft charges, the Ynet news site reports.
The report notes this would effectively put the responsibility on the High Court for a fourth consecutive round of elections if it rules a Knesset member under indictment such as Netanyahu cannot be tasked with assembling a coalition.
