Israel’s snap elections to be held Sept. 17
Knesset dissolves after Netanyahu fails to form coalition government
By Mustafa Deveci
JERUSALEM (AA) - Israel’s parliament decided to hold early elections Sept. 17, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to form a coalition government Wednesday.
Under Israeli law, Netanyahu, who leads the Likud Party, had until midnight Wednesday local time to form a coalition.
Lawmakers approved the dissolution of the 21st Knesset in a 74-45 vote.
The polls will be the second national elections in 2019.
Netanyahu won a record fifth term in April when his party clinched 36 Knesset seats.
