The road to elections: The coalition will allow the advancement of the Blue and White proposal

A political drama is unfolding in the Knesset surrounding the legislation to dissolve the Knesset: The coalition announced that, in coordination with the Haredi factions, it will allow the tabling and approval of the bill to dissolve the Knesset submitted by the Blue and White party, alongside the coalition's own bill.

According to a report by Amit Segal, the move is being made "with the agreement of the Haredim." Dafna Liel also notes that the Haredi factions will join the opposition to enable the passage of the law, and this is "so that they too will have some control over the process" according to Dafna Liel.

Coalition Chairman, Ofir Katz, updated the heads of the coalition factions that the decision was made to ensure the management of the process, as reported on Moti Kastel's channel. On the other hand, Ben Caspit, known for a critical line toward the government's conduct, notes that the move allows the Haredim to "collaborate with the opposition in the event of the Likud's Knesset dissolution bill being 'stalled'" according to Ben Caspit.

Similar reports appeared on Hadashot MeHashtach on Telegram and Kol HaHadashot, which emphasize that this is a coordinated step intended to prevent unilateral moves by the various sides on the map of Israeli politics.
