Knesset House Committee chair Ofir Katz said elections will be held on Oct. 27.
The current Knesset completes its four‑year statutory term on July 17; Knesset
legal adviser Sagit Afik said the Knesset will serve its full term and will not
be dissolved early, so no early‑dissolution bill is required. This would be the
first Israeli parliamentary election held on its legal date in nearly 40 years
and the first government in more than 50 years to complete a full term.
