Would-be coalition informs speaker of intention to dissolve Knesset
Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein receives a letter signed by coalition heads expressing their intention to advance the Likud bill to dissolve the government after negotiations between the parties broke down.
The letter is submitted at Eledstein’s request, and includes Liberman’s signature.
Earlier, Liberman said at a press conference that he would not join a “halachic government” and backed the measure to dissolve the Netanyahu-led government.
