The dramatic night in the Knesset: The bill to dissolve the 25th Knesset passed its first reading
During the night (June 2, 2026), the Knesset approved the bill to dissolve the 25th Knesset in a first reading. The move comes against the backdrop of broad support among members of the house.
According to a report on the 🎗️Israel News IL🎗️ channel, which follows a line identified with right-wing positions and support for Prime Minister Netanyahu, 6 Knesset members supported the initiative. However, a more detailed report comes from the Ziv Rubinstein - Until the war ends channel, which highlights the consensus around the move: "106 in favor, no opponents."
Regarding the schedule, it was noted in Ziv Rubinstein - Until the war ends that the bill establishes a possible range for elections "from 8.9 to 20.10". It was further reported that "the exact date will be determined later in accordance with an agreement with the ultra-Orthodox."
The vote marks a significant step toward heading into a new election cycle, as the current Knesset approaches the end of its term.
