Summary created with AI assistance
  • The 24th Knesset might disband as soon as Monday evening, exactly a week after Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid made the stunning decision.

  • Bennett was supposed to become interior minister, Shaked justice minister, and Sa'ar foreign minister, according to coalition accords.

  • The outgoing prime minister did not rule out entering a cabinet formed by Netanyahu.

  • The official reason Bennett and Lapid chose to dissolve the Knesset was to extend legislation that would otherwise have expired on June 30.
