Israel ruling coalition proposes dissolving parliament for early elections: PM party

Israel's ruling coalition has submitted a proposal to dissolve the country's parliament, paving the way for early elections, the party of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday.

"The 25th Knesset shall be dissolved before the end of its term. Elections (to form the next parliament) will be held on a date determined by the Knesset Committee, which may not be set earlier than 90 days after the passage of this law," the draft legislation released by Likud said.

According to Israeli media reports, the dissolution bill could be put to a vote on May 20.
