Disagreements within the coalition government have reignited discussions about early elections in Israeli politics. It has been claimed that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has instructed his aides to prepare for the possibility of advancing the general elections, which are currently scheduled for next year, to June 2026.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering the possibility of bringing forward the general elections planned for October next year. The country's media reported that Netanyahu has instructed his aides in this direction.
DISAGREEMENTS IN THE COALITION CAUSED THIS
According to a report by Yedioth Ahronoth, Netanyahu's decision for early elections stems from some deadlocks within the coalition government. Disagreements over the military conscription bill concerning Ultra-Orthodox Jews and budget issues have brought the possibility of early elections to the agenda.
MESSAGE TO THE PUBLIC: "TERM WILL BE COMPLETED"
In public statements, Netanyahu had indicated that the government would complete its term. However, information from within suggests that the Prime Minister has instructed his aides to begin preparations to bring the elections forward to October.
EARLY ELECTION DATE: JUNE 2026
According to the early election scenario, the general elections could be moved to June 2026. Netanyahu, who is not only the longest-serving Prime Minister of Israel but also the first leader to be tried while in office, had announced that he would run again in the upcoming elections.
