Israel’s parliament voted to dissolve it on Thursday, heading the country into its fifth legislative election in less than four years. Foreign Minister Yair Lapid takes over as prime minister of the interim government.
The dissolution, which passed with 92 votes in favor and none against, ends a brief year-long rule by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett at the head of an eight-party coalition that included an Arab group for the first time, something historic in Israel. .
The election that should define the new formation of parliament is scheduled for November 1st. The return to the polls is a victory for former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, under investigation for corruption, whose party leads the polls.
