Israel’s parliament dissolves, sets 5th election in 4 years

The Israeli parliament chose Thursday to disperse and send the country to the election in November for the fifth time in less than four years.

Yair Lapid, Israeli Foreign Minister and the Coalition Government’s architect who came out, will become the Prime Minister of the State Management right after midnight on Friday. He will be the 14th person who holds the position, taking over from Naftali Bennett, the shortest Israeli Prime Minister.

The government collapsed more than a year after it was formed in a historic step that made the old leader Benjamin Netanyahu overthrown after 12 years in power by the party coalition that was ideologically diverse, the first to enter the Arab faction.

The motion to disperse graduated with 92 supporting parliamentary members, and no one opposed, after days of fighting by the coalition and members of the opposition parliament during the new election date and the other last minute law.

The new election will be held on November 1.

This step ended a political experiment in which eight parties from all Israeli spectrums tried to find similarities after the prolonged congestion period in which the country held four elections in two years.
