Israel Coalition Agrees To Dissolve, Hold New Elections: Reports

While opinion polls have forecast the emergence of Netanyahu’s hardline Likud as the single largest party, it remains unclear as to whether the former PM would be able to gather support to form a new government.

The election, expected to be held in October or November comes at an already precarious time for the country after an increased number of Palestinian attacks on citizens and amid escalations in the shadow war between Iran and Israel.
