Israel to hold its third election in less than a year on March 2, after PM Netanyahu and his main rival fail to form a new coalition government
Labourers hang an election campaign banner depicting Benny Gantz, the leader of Blue and White party, in Tel Aviv, Israel on September 9, 2019.
By a vote of 94 in favour to none opposed, lawmakers approved a motion dissolving parliament and setting the new election date. In that ballot, and in the one prior in April, Netanyahu's conservative Likud party deadlocked with ex-general Benny Gantz's centrist Blue and White.The next election, however, will be held in the shadow of a corruption indictment handed down against Netanyahu last month.
Critics alleged that Netanyahu was trying to undermine the rule of law and set an election campaign theme portraying himself as the victim of “deep state” conspiracy.
