The Israeli parliament has preliminarily approved the dissolution of the parliament and early elections.

The Israeli Knesset (parliament) voted on a bill calling for the dissolution of the legislature and early elections. The bill was approved in its first reading.

The bill on self-dissolution was supported by 110 members, with none opposed. The Knesset has 120 seats. This level of support almost guarantees the bill's final passage. The bill has now been sent to the relevant Internal Affairs Committee for further consideration.

A parliamentary crisis in Israel erupted after Netanyahu's former allies in the Torah Judaism party announced last week that they would seek the dissolution of the Knesset over the coalition's failure to pass a law exempting ultra-Orthodox yeshiva (religious school) students from military conscription.

The Knesset dissolution bill does not specify a specific election date. The Interior Committee will set one no earlier than three months after the bill's final approval.

The elections must be held within five months of the law's passage, meaning mid- to late October at the latest. According to some reports, the ultra-Orthodox parties in the Knesset are advocating for elections to be held in early September.

Democratic Union party chairman Yair Golan called the vote "the beginning of the end of the worst government in history." stories "Israel" and declared that "it no longer matters whether the elections are postponed or held as scheduled." The government, which has inflicted "unprecedented damage," is "nearing the end of its road."

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu ignored the vote, even though it directly affects not only his ability to remain prime minister until new elections but also his ability to avoid prison. Netanyahu has been facing legal proceedings for several years on charges of corruption and abuse of power, which fall under criminal law. So far, the prime minister has avoided trial due to military action.

Biba, has he already bought rope and soap?)))

The crackers are drying out.... ..........

I don't think he'll get away with crackers, he screwed up big time.

[Jcvai]

It depends on the goals of the operation: to remove from the attack and hide, or to demonstratively depict de-escalation by appointing someone as the scapegoat.
It seems to me they'll simply replace him without changing policy: after all, it was ordinary Israelis who were happily killing civilians on the ground, not the prime minister himself, who simply provided them with a "safari." If the majority had been against it...

[Modya]

Israel is a model of democracy with an ideology. It's a model for us. The highest official is subject to justice, accountability, and replaceability. Here, it's the opposite. A king who knows that neither he nor his descendants have any right to the kingdom or succession to the throne.

[TermNachTer]

Is he replaceable?))) How many years have they been trying to replace him? And who told you he'd be put on trial? No one has ever stated the conditions under which he would agree to step down. Do you still believe in fairy tales about democracy, about fair, "transparent" elections?))) The "elections" that took place in the last elections, in democratic Europe, don't mean anything to you? In Romania, for example, they simply went and noted the results.)))

[Modya]

We're not talking about Romania here. We're talking about Israel. It's not about simply jailing a top official—that's not easy in any country that isn't a colony. The point is that in Israel, there are political forces independent of the government that ensure the stability of the state and upon which oversight (investigative) bodies, courts, and the like rely. It's unimaginable for us to do something like that!

[TermNachTer]

The punishment is 16 months in a sanatorium, given that he stole more than one million dollars?))) And there are no bans on engaging in politics or holding high government positions - fucking justice))) Give me 10 million bucks and I'm ready to serve a year and four months in a Jewish prison)))

No matter how the elections go, the ultra-Orthodox are GUARANTEED to receive their 16/18 seats.

In Ukraine, parliamentarians are throwing up their hands in bewilderment: how much is still missing... How can they just leave the trough themselves?

He is entitled to this for free. From the state.

Haven't they approved of euthanasia followed by reincarnation for themselves yet?

Now Netanyahu has only two options: either he leads the Jews into a new war with Iran, or the Jews take him to the prosecutor.

[Orange Bigg]

Netanyahu is already 76. It's time to retire. The question is simply where that pension will be: in freedom or in prison. A new war with a successful outcome requires a new Israeli army, not the current battle-worn one, and that will take at least a couple of years—time to train the army, which Netanyahu simply doesn't have.

[Pimply]

He doesn't avoid court; he goes to court several times a week for a few hours. The most serious charges were not confirmed.

So is he being tried or not?

[Pimply]

Well, in fact, the government will actually work until the end
