Assessments in the political system: Knesset elections are expected to take place in October

Following the approval of the preliminary vote to dissolve the Knesset, assessments within the political system regarding the date of the next elections are growing. According to a report by Hadashot MeHashtah on Telegram, which is identified with critical positions toward Netanyahu and Hamas but sympathetic toward Trump, senior officials in United Torah Judaism estimate that "the elections will take place in the month of October" as reported by Hadashot MeHashtah.

At the same time, cross-referenced reports from Hadar Milhama 🎗️ and Politics Updates, citing correspondent Eli Hirschman from Channel 12 News, add a tense layer to the political drama. According to these sources, officials in United Torah Judaism are pointing an accusing finger at Shas chairman Aryeh Deri, claiming that he is "locked in with Netanyahu" regarding the upcoming political moves according to a Hadar Milhama report.

On the other hand, the Shas party rejects the claims of prior coordination with the Prime Minister. As of now, the preliminary approval to dissolve the Knesset raises the level of tension in the coalition, as the political system prepares for the possibility of an early election campaign as early as this coming autumn.
