Israeli legislators will vote to dissolve parliament, opening the way for the country’s fifth election in three years, following weeks of pressure on Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s governing coalition.
Bennett will step aside to be replaced by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, his partner in the unlikely coalition of opposites that ended former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s record 12-year rule 12 months ago.
Bennett and Lapid decided to present a vote to dissolve parliament in the coming days, Bennett’s office said on Monday. Lapid is then to serve as caretaker prime minister until new elections can be held.
“I think the government did very good work over the past year. It’s a shame the country has to be dragged into elections,” said Defence Minister Benny Gantz, head of a centrist party in the coalition.
“But we will continue to function as a temporary government as much as possible,” he said.
