Israel War Cabinet member Benny Gantz files motion to dissolve parliament - eviltoast

Israeli War Cabinet member Benny Gantz announced Wednesday his centrist National Unity party has introduced a bill to dissolve the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, which would trigger an early election.

It is unclear when lawmakers might vote on the bill, which requires a majority vote to pass. Israeli law stipulates there cannot be another vote for six months if the motion fails.

    Are you asking if motion for new elections from a centrist politician is a facist power grab?

      The term “dissolve the parliament” is foreign to my American ears. I didn’t realize it just meant time for elections.
