Coalition submits bill to dissolve Knesset, vote expected next week
The remarks came on Tuesday, as Bennett outlined his plans for the country if elected, alongside opposition Leader Yair Lapid, at the first major campaign event of their newly merged Together party.
Assessment
The coalition's submission of a bill to dissolve the Knesset accelerates the timeline for early elections. Bennett and Lapid's joint campaign event for their merged Together party indicates a consolidated opposition effort. The vote next week will test whether the coalition can force a dissolution, potentially triggering a campaign where Bennett and Lapid run together.
