Knesset Dissolved: Israeli Elections Scheduled for October 27th
The Israeli Knesset approved the dissolution of itself and scheduled general elections for October 27, 2026, after voting on a bill to finance political parties, which included a clause setting a date for early elections. The vote came after a dispute between the Shas party and the opposition regarding party funding and increased financial allocations, with Aryeh Deri refusing to support the law without the opposition’s backing, fearing that the opposition might exploit the increased funding. If the law had not passed, the dissolution was expected to be postponed to the following week; however, this would have deprived the parties of millions of shekels needed to fund their election campaigns. Additionally, the parliament approved other laws, including delaying the reduction of military service duration by five years and establishing a new authority for visual and audio media with an annual capital of 25 million shekels.
