Israeli Lawmakers Deicide to Disband  Knesset,   Set  November 1 for   Next Elections

Today, Thursday, the Israeli Knesset approved, by a majority, to dissolve itself, after postponing the vote twice during the past four days.

According to Israeli media, the Knesset voted in the second and third readings to dissolve itself, after it voted during the past few days in the preliminary and first readings of the Knesset dissolution bill.

92 lawmakers supported the dissolution of the Knesset, and none of the deputies opposed it, and they agreed that early elections would be held on November 1.

In the early hours of Thursday morning, the deputies addressed the Knesset chamber before the voting took place.

Lawmakers spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday wrangling over issues such as the date of elections and what legislation would be passed before the Knesset is dissolved.
