The National Unity Party, led by Benny Gantz, has submitted a bill to dissolve the Israeli Knesset and trigger early elections. However, the party is unlikely to bring the bill to a vote without a guaranteed majority, as rejected legislation cannot be reintroduced for six months.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that he would not support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conscription bill, which exempts the ultra-Orthodox from military service. Minister Benny Gantz also expressed opposition, declaring that his party would not be part of the emergency government if such legislation is passed.
Gideon Sa'ar's unexpected departure from Benny Gantz's National Unity Party faction has removed a key figure from Netanyahu's opposition-within-government, potentially giving the Prime Minister valuable time and delaying elections further. This move has surprised many due to its timing and could significantly impact the political landscape in Israel.
