Israel faces new elections with support for the dissolution of the Knesset

Parliament Speaker Yuli Edelstein today received a letter signed by representatives of Parliament supporting a bill to dissolve the new chamber proposed by Likud, the party of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The letter inscribed in Netanyahu's difficulties to advance a coalition of government and proposes new elections.

The letter is signed by potential coalition members that Netanyahu intends to form since it was won with a tight victory in the April 9 elections and appointed by President Reuven Rivlin.

The interim CEO has until Wednesday night to announce a government agreement, after having to apply for a two-week extension to Rivlin for the obstacles he faces, the main one being a law of recruitment to military service for ultra-Orthodox Jews, which opposes two religious parties and is required by a third party, as an indispensable condition to support the government.

The Likud presented the proposal to dissolve the House (the Knesset) apparently to put pressure on these potential partners before the deadline.

One of them, Avigdor Lieberman, who claims to have nothing to do with the right to recruit, insisted in front of the tense parliamentary session of that day for not supporting "a government of Halakha (governed by Jewish law ), dissolution

If the motion is submitted, it must pbad three rounds of voting to be approved. And if that were the case, the country would be sentenced to new elections, which never happened.

Blue and white opposition party leader Benny Gantz opposes this option and urged Netanyahu to bring him relief in forming the government.

"Netanyahu will try to survive, but the state belongs to us," he criticized.

The Prime Minister needs the support of the three opposition parties to obtain a simple majority of at least 61 deputies.

If it was not successful in two days, Rivlin could call new elections, entrust the formation of a government to another member of parliament or grant two more weeks to the interim Prime Minister, but only if Parliament supported this measure in writing.

It could also happen that a minority government is formed with a coalition of 60 parliamentarians and outside support from Israel, Beitenu (Israel at home), Lieberman and his five representatives to the Knesset. EFE and Aurora
