Parliamentary elections in Israel: Knesset dissolved before parliamentary elections

The Israeli parliament has officially dissolved ahead of upcoming elections scheduled for October 27th. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has led Israeli governments for over 18 years, aims to form a broad national coalition after the election rather than a right-wing or left-wing government dependent on Arab parties. The dissolution passed with 62 out of 120 lawmakers voting in favor. However, a law formally setting the election date was blocked and sent back to committee. Netanyahu faces ongoing corruption trials and criticism for his handling of security issues, including the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and military actions in Gaza and Lebanon. His main rival for the prime ministerial position is former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot.
