The political crisis has arisen once again in Israel. The Parliament of Israel has been dissolved again. The government of Benjamin Netanyahu has fallen again after the Israeli parliament failed to meet the deadline to pass the budget. Now the country has moved towards the fourth general election in two years. According to media reports, the fourth general election in Israel can be held on March 23 next year. This will be the fourth election from 2019.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition partner, Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz, have blamed each other for the collapse of their seven-month-old government. Netanyahu said, “The leaders of the Blue and White Party withdrew from the agreements and dragged us towards unnecessary elections during the Corona crisis.” He said, ‘We do not want an election and we have voted against it. But we are not afraid of elections. Because we will win.

At the same time, the coalition government’s ally and defense minister Benny Gantz accused Netanyahu of vandalism. He has said that now it would be better if new elections are held in the country. Referring to allegations of corruption on Netanyahu, Gantz said, “I am sorry that the Prime Minister is in favor of his case and not of public interest.” Gantz said that now it would be better to hold new elections in the country.
