Knesset to Vote on Dissolving Parliament, Set Near Elections

Local Editor

The 20th “Israeli” Knesset is set to come to an end on Wednesday as its members vote on a bill to dissolve parliament and set new elections for April 9.

A day after Zionist ministers approved pushing ahead with the move, the Knesset will be host to a series of committee debates and votes on the bill to dissolve parliament in an attempt to complete work on the move by the end of the day and officially start the election campaign for the 2019 election.

According to the decision of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, the bill — which is expected to pass by a large margin — will face all three plenary readings on Wednesday in an accelerated legislative move reserved for emergency measures.

Following the committee debate and a vote by its MKs, the bill will then face a first plenary debate and vote. If the vote passes, the bill will return to the House Committee for final deliberations before once again being sent back to the plenum.
