Members of the Democrats Party have submitted a new bill calling for the dissolution of the Knesset without waiting the necessary half a year.
Despite a recent defeat of a similar proposal and the fact that no motion to dissolve the Knesset can be introduced for the next six months, members of the Democrats Party have submitted a new bill calling for the dissolution of the Knesset.
This proposal was introduced during Operation Rising Lion. Under the Knesset’s rules, a bill to dissolve the Knesset cannot be brought forward within six months of a failed attempt, unless the Speaker is convinced that there have been significant changes in the situation that warrant reconsideration, a scenario that seems highly unlikely.
The Knesset members behind the proposal argue that “since the October 7, 2023, Israel has entered the most severe crisis in its history. The government failed to prevent the massacre and to ensure the safety of Israeli citizens, and it has failed to properly manage the ensuing war. 866 soldiers have died in the War of the Iron Dome, and 53 hostages remain in Gaza with no clear plan for their return or for ending the conflict. Meanwhile, over 16,000 people have been injured, but the state has failed to provide adequate treatment for the wounded.”
The party contends that the 25th Knesset has failed in its role to oversee the government, lead the country through this crisis, or offer real solutions to the public. They argue that Israel needs a new leadership, one that will take responsibility, act decisively, and restore faith in the country’s governance.
