The opposition in Israel wants to dissolve the Parliament, and a party in Netanyahu's coalition threatens with the support of the motion

A right -wing coalition party governing in Israel threatened to leave the cabinet and support a Parliament's dissolution opposition, scheduled for next week, putting pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Reuters reports.

The latest opinion polls suggest that the current coalition would lose power if they were organized elections today, given that many Israeli are unhappy with the continuation of the war in the Gaza strip, triggered by the attack by Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023.

The unit of the Torah, one of the two ultra -orthodox parties in the coalition, said he would withdraw from the Government if he does not obtain the last -minute concessions to formalize the exemption of ultra -Orthodox men from the military service.

Opposition initiated a knessel dissolution motion

The opposition party Yesh Atid, led by former Prime Minister Yair Lapid, initiated a parliamentary motion for the dismissal of the government and triggering the early elections, which will vote next week, even if the Israeli army continues to fight Hamas in the Gaza strip. The motion needs the support of 61 of the 120 members of the Parliament to be adopted.

“This Kneset (Parliament, no) is completed. It has no where to go,” Lapid said.

Netanyahu, the longest prime minister in the country, has kept silence on the crisis that is outlined.

A spokesman for Yitzhak Goldknopf, the leader of the United Tore, told Reuters that the party will vote in favor of the dissolution of Parliament if the exception that the party requires is not adopted.

A week left to vote, Netanyahu and his allies still have negotiations on the problem that affects the coalition for months.

A source close to the Government said, under the condition of anonymity, that the negotiations within the Coalition continue.

Netanyahu's coalition, consisting of right -wing and ultra -Orthodox secular parties, has a majority of eight mandates in the Parliament. The United Torah has seven parliamentarians, while its ally, Shas, the other ultra -orthodox formation, has 11.

Divergence on the military service of ultra -orthodox young people

The coalition is strongly divided in terms of the scur of the ultra -orthodox young people who study in the religious seminars by the compulsory military service. Failure to adopt such a measure risks leading to the exit of ultra -Orthodox parliamentarians, while an adoption can be dissatisfied among secular parties.

Ohad Tal, from the Religious Zionist Party, criticized Goldknopf for threatening the election and asked the ultra -orthodox parliamentary to resign.

In March, ultra -orthodox parliamentarians threatened to demolish the government for the same reason, but time passed and no action was taken in this regard. The resentments regarding the informal exemption of the students from the religious seminars are increasing, being considered unsustainable by both the coalition and the opposition.

Netanyahu won the elections in 2022, and the next term parliamentary election will take place in 2026. From a historical point of view, few Israeli governments have taken their mandate.

There are political analysts who say that ultra -orthodox can simply resign from the government to protest that they have not received the required concessions, without demolishing the cabinet.
