The Israeli Parliament (the Knesset) voted to dissolve itself early on Friday morning and went into recess ahead of the scheduled national elections on October 27. The vote followed a lengthy legislative session during which the coalition government led by Benjamin Netanyahu remained in full authority—a first since 1988 for an elected government to serve its entire term. The elections will be held on the original date, four years after the 2022 elections, with the current coalition remaining in a caretaker capacity until a new government is formed. Polls indicate that Netanyahu’s coalition will not secure the necessary votes for a majority (61 seats), and the opposition is divided, representing various ideological alliances.
