MPs Vote to Dissolve Zionist Regime’s Parliament

WEST BANK (Dispatches) – Lawmakers have approved in preliminary reading a bill to dissolve the Zionist regime’s parliament, after no party could form a cabinet for months amidst post-election political deadlock.
The bill is expected to be approved in three more readings before a midnight deadline to dissolve the parliament, or the Knesset.
According to the bill, the elections will be held on March 2.
Approval of the bill means the Zionist regime will head into an unprecedented third election within a year.
Following neck-to-neck results in the September election, both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party and Benny Gantz’s centrist Blue and White party have been unable to form a coalition.
The last elections were called after a similar political deadlock in April’s elections.
Each of this year’s elections, and their subsequent coalition jockeying, have largely been a referendum on Netanyahu, who was recently indicted for bribery, breach of trust and fraud in three corruption affairs.
Blue and White’s Gantz has refused to sit in a Netanyahu-led coalition, citing the long-serving prime minister’s legal troubles. Netanyahu has refused to step down.
