JERUSALEM — Israel After the collapse of Prime Minister Naftari Bennett's ruling coalition, lawmakers resolved to dissolve the parliament on Thursday, paving the way for Israel's fifth election on November 1, in less than four years.
Bennett falls late at night to replace his coalition partner, Foreign Minister Yale Rapid. Yile Rapid will lead the government in a fierce election campaign with opposition leader and former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Former Army Commander and Technical Millionaire Bennett will not run for elections. In a statement late Wednesday, he said his government had left a "prosperous, strong and safe country" and showed that parties from different ends of the political sphere could work together.
Netanyaf is banished more than a year ago by Bennett, both right and left, and by an unlikely coalition of parties from the Arab minority of Israel, and is in power as the head of the right-wing Rikud party. I vowed to return. ..

US President Joe Byden, who will visit next month, has maintained a strong relationship with the Bennett government, which is unlikely to change when Rapid takes office.
Israel's longest-serving Prime Minister, Netanyahu, is now aiming for another term and security, despite facing the crime of corruption. The rising costs are overwhelmed by the fact that there are no major differences in policy. Regarding life. Of life.
"Prices are rising because of this terrible government. We lower it, lower prices. That is my first mission," Netanyaf voted in Knesset. A few hours later, he said when he visited a shopping mall in Jerusalem.
A poll aired on Israel's Channel 12 television on Wednesday predicts that Netanyahu will dominate 58 of the 120 seats in Congress, slightly ahead of the election. The current coalition parties are seen to have 56 seats, with an additional 6 seats going to the Arab Party, which is unlikely to join either side.
