Israel could head to elections as ‘Netanyahu-Gantz power-sharing deal at heart of dispute’

Description

Seven months after establishing a coalition, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz’s differences are levelling divorce level over the country’s 2021 budget. Israel could now face its 4th general election in two years, as the Parliament passed a preliminary movement to dissolve itself. “At the heart of the dispute is actually their power-sharing agreement, as Netanyahu seems to refuse to share his power with Benny Gantz”, FRANCE 24’s Irris Makler reports from Jerusalem.

Once More, With Feeling? Israeli Government Collapses

The Israeli government officially fell apart on Tuesday at midnight local time. The collapse came after Israel's parliament failed to meet a deadline for passage of the 2020 and 2021 budgets. CNN reports Israel will now head to its fourth elections in two years, probably on March 23 next year. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz blamed one another for the collapse of their tenuous coalition government. Opinion polls suggest Netanyahu's Likud party is again on track to win the most Knesset seats in the next election. With Blue and White hemorrhaging support, Netanyahu's biggest rivals seem to be coming from other right-wing parties, which have been gaining ground.
