In the early hours of June 2 local time, the Knesset plenary approved a bill to dissolve parliament by a 106-0 vote. Under Israeli law the bill must return to relevant committees to amend disputed clauses, then pass consecutive second and third readings in plenary before taking effect and triggering dissolution. Elections are scheduled no later than Oct. 27, 2026; if the bill ultimately passes, Israel could hold early parliamentary elections.
