Israel's ruling coalition has submitted a proposal to dissolve the Knesset, potentially leading to early elections as pressure mounts from ultra-Orthodox parties dissatisfied with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's failure to deliver on military service exemptions for their community. The proposal, initiated by Netanyahu's Likud party, could see elections held within 90 days if approved, likely in August 2024, prior to the original legislative term ending in October. The coalition's move comes amid internal tensions and the threat of opposition parties introducing their own dissolution bill. Netanyahu, who has governed for over 18 years and is currently facing a corruption trial, has confirmed his intent to run again. Polls indicate Likud leading with 26 seats, but neither Likud nor the opposition bloc appears capable of forming a stable government due to the fragmented political landscape. Central campaign themes for opposition leaders Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett include establishing a national inquiry into the 7 October attacks and enforcing military service among ultra-Orthodox Jews.
