Israel’s weakened coalition government announced Monday that it would dissolve parliament and call new elections, setting the stage for the possible return to power of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or another period of prolonged political gridlock.
The election will be Israel's fifth in three years, and it will put the polarizing Netanyahu, who has been the opposition leader for the past year, back at the center of the political universe.
“I think the winds have changed. I feel it,” Netanyahu declared.
The previous four elections, focused on Netanyahu’s fitness to rule while facing a corruption investigation, ended in deadlock. While opinion polls project Netanyahu, who is now on trial, as the front-runner, it is far from certain that his Likud party can secure the required parliamentary majority to form a new government.

Excellent !
didn’t they just pull a fast one to invoke a law so he couldn’t run again?? Read it here on FR last week.
Can we dissolve Diaper Joe and hold another election?
I love Bibi, but also like Bennett too. Unlike the US Democrats, Bennett actually loves his country and never had a problem beating the crap out of its enemies.
The US Democrats (plus the Neocons, of course) are reduced to wanting to start WW3, and with Russia unwilling to take the bait, now they’re trying to get WW3 started with China.
Bibi come back!
Hope Bibi becomes Prime Minister again!!
Netanyahu never met an American soldier he would not send to die for Israel.
Yeah, love the ways he’s always demanding we go to war on his behalf, using our blood and our treasure.
He’d never risk Israeli blood or treasure, but ours? He thinks it’s a limitless supply.
Yep. They can fight their own battles.
A completely one way relationship.
“ Netanyahu never met an American soldier he would not send to die for Israel.”
That’s as much nonsense as your tagline.
Israeli intelligence has been invaluable to the US. As has their strikes, seen and unseen, against the Iranian nuke program.
Their intelligence that they provided for the battles we fight for them?
Bombing Iran is way more in their interests than ours.
We owe Israel nothing.
If you’ve seen him lately you’ll know he’s already dissolving.

Seems Israel has gone right the past 20 years. But their population will probably drift back left at some point.
Good news...
Particularly since Iran, supported by the american communist party, could be just a few months from testing a nuclear device...
Bibi crapped on Trump and snuggled up to Biden. F’em!
This is what, year thirty of Iran being months away from a nuke?…
The Israeli political system always baffles me.
Same here. Seems they act badly then want the US to bail them out. Done with that.
