Israeli Opposition Pushes for Early Election Amid Gaza War Tensions

Benny Gantz's centrist party has proposed a vote to dissolve the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, and hold early elections, following an ultimatum to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree on a post-war Gaza plan by June 8. Netanyahu's Likud party opposes the move, arguing it would harm the war effort against Hamas. Despite Gantz's push, his party lacks sufficient seats to unilaterally bring down the ruling coalition, and analysts suggest Netanyahu's position remains secure for now. The conflict in Gaza has resulted in significant casualties and international condemnation.
