A preliminary Knesset vote last week to dissolve the Israeli parliament has not moved to the House Committee for further discussion, increasing the chance that elections will occur on the original October 27 date. Sources in ultra-Orthodox parties told Haaretz that the parties have concluded an early September election is unlikely and are prepared to accept the later timeline.
To hold elections in early September, legislation dissolving the Knesset must advance within one week of the preliminary vote.
No committee discussion has been scheduled. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has favored the October 27 date. The ultra-Orthodox parties' shift aligns with that preference.
