Israel Advances Knesset Dissolution Bill Toward Final Vote

by | May 27, 2026 | News

Israel’s coalition is moving forward with legislation to dissolve the Knesset, with the House Committee set to deliberate on the bill Monday before sending it to a first formal reading that afternoon.

The bill cleared an initial procedural vote 110-0 last week but was not immediately advanced, leading opposition MK Merav Ben-Ari of Yesh Atid to formally demand it be placed on the committee’s agenda. Coalition whip and committee chairman Ofir Katz, of Likud, confirmed the Monday timeline.

The legislation does not set a specific election date, instead requiring the House Committee to schedule elections at least three months after the bill’s final approval. Under the current framework, elections must be held no later than the end of October.
