Netanyahu Orders Preparations for Possible Early Dissolution of the Knesset

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed his closest advisers to begin preparations for a possible early dissolution of the Knesset. This scenario is being considered amid internal political instability and ongoing disagreements within the ruling coalition.

According to Israeli sources, if a decision to dissolve parliament is made, elections to the 26th Knesset could be moved up by as much as four months from the scheduled date. Currently, the next parliamentary elections are set for October 27, 2026.

Preparations for an early vote may include adjustments to political strategies, negotiations with potential allies, and an assessment of the current balance of power in parliament. The decision to dissolve the Knesset remains the prerogative of the prime minister and depends on the government’s ability to maintain a majority.

In recent months, Israel’s political system has faced heightened tensions related to security issues, judicial reform, and the socio-economic agenda. These factors increase the likelihood of revisiting the timeline for parliamentary elections.

No official confirmation has yet been issued regarding a final decision on dissolving the Knesset. The situation continues to evolve, and further steps will depend on political dynamics within the ruling coalition and the parliament.
