Israeli War Cabinet member Benny Gantz announced Wednesday his centrist National Unity party has introduced a bill to dissolve the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, which would trigger an early election.

It is unclear when lawmakers might vote on the bill, which requires a majority vote to pass. Israeli law stipulates there cannot be another vote for six months if the motion fails.

      It’s not the ruling coalition that’s proposing this, and it’s not dissolution towards fascist rule. Gantz’s party isn’t exactly opposition, but it’s not Likud’s coalition either. And the dissolution is to call for new elections, hopefully to replace Netanyahu and Likud with a slightly less right-wing party like Gantz’s.

        Gantz doesn’t look to be willing to build the coalition to replace Bibi, this is rhetoric and politics, nothing more.
