The bill to dissolve the 25th Knesset passed in a first reading
During a dramatic night in the Knesset, the bill to dissolve the 25th Knesset was approved in a first reading. The move received broad cross-party support, as according to Michael Shemesh and Zirat HaHadashot, the proposal passed with a majority of 106 Knesset members and with no opposition at all.
According to a report by Israel News IL, which is known for its positions supporting the government and Netanyahu, the move marks the beginning of the process for the end of the current Knesset's term. Despite various reports that were circulated regarding the number of supporters, the verified and corrected figure points to a sweeping consensus between the coalition and the opposition during the vote.
Zirat HaHadashot emphasized that the approval of the proposal without opposition testifies to the mood in the legislature ahead of new elections. Now, the political system is awaiting the continuation of the legislative procedures required until the final approval of the dissolution of the Knesset.
