Tel Aviv: The Israeli parliament (Knesset) has voted to formally dissolve itself, setting a new national election for October 27, 2026. The decision ends the current parliament's term and paves the way for political parties to begin their election campaigns.
The dissolution of parliament comes in a context where Israeli politics is facing increased competition and disagreements between parties as the country continues to deal with security issues and conflicts in the Middle East.
Analysts see this election as a key test for the ruling and opposition parties, as voters will decide the political direction and leadership of the country in the coming years.
Although some polls show that the opposition party is gaining support, experts believe that the final outcome is still difficult to predict, as the Israeli political system always requires the formation of a coalition government after elections.
