In a political bombshell, the two leaders of the current coalition admitted that recent efforts to salvage the government have failed. This development is not unexpected, as the coalition, shaky from its inception, has taken multiple blows in recent weeks.
The government will submit a bill to dissolve itself next week and call for new elections, according to a joint statement issued by the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.
During the interim, Lapid will become prime minister as per the rotation agreement and will greet President Joe Biden during his visit on July 13. Elections for the 25th Knesset will be held on 30 Tishrei.
Naftali Bennett will become the shortest-serving prime minister in Israel’s history, a record which would be broken by Lapid if he does not remain in power following the elections.
A source said that the stunning announcement was prompted by Yamina MK Nir Orbach’s plan to vote to dissolve the Knesset, a move that the 59-member coalition cannot win.
Bennett and Lapid will address the public on Monday at 8 p.m. Israel time.
The Israeli government keeps on collapsing every now and then.
Lets hope and pray for the immediate coming of Moshicah and off course the state of Israel will be dissolved by Hashem without any Jewish bloodshed. And then Hashem will return Eretz Yisroel to his holy nation Am Yisroel.
sorry Paulin Bibi is back! LOL
This is laughable. How can anyone seriously believe that Jews run the world? They can’t even run a piece of land the size of New Jersey!
Good by Bennet, forever.
baruch Hashem

It seems the electorate is simply evenly split. It will be tight. I wonder if the Arab List will get in again.
Does it really matter which wing of the regime controls the government at the moment? I suppose, to an extent, it does.
