Israeli lawmakers on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to advance a bill to dissolve the Knesset, a move that could pave the way for early elections and deepen political uncertainty for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition.
In a preliminary reading, 110 out of 120 members of parliament supported the motion, with no votes against and the remainder abstaining. The bill, introduced by the ruling coalition itself, now moves to committee stage before undergoing three further readings required for final approval.
