The two leaders of the Israeli ruling coalition, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, announced Monday that they will present a bill that would dissolve parliament and trigger snap elections.
“After exhausting all attempts to stabilize the coalition, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and (…) Yair Lapid decided to pass the bill. [para dissolver o Parlamento] “We will vote in the Kneset next week,” it said.
Bennett and Lapid joined together in June 2021 with a unique coalition of right, centre, left and for the first time in Israeli history an Arab party to end Benjamin Netanyahu’s 12-year presidency of government.
But the Bennett-Lapid coalition agreement also provided for a rotation between the two men at the head of government and the replacement of Bennett with Lapid in the event of Parliament dissolving.
If the bill to dissolve parliament is passed by lawmakers, Yair Lapid will become Israel’s prime minister until a new government is formed.
