Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked was notified earlier today by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett of the decision to dissolve the 24th Knesset, according to political sources. There was no prior consultation with her.

Bennett and Shaked have been close partners since entering politics almost a decade ago, but this development seems to indicate that their partnership may be coming to an end.
