Netanyahu's Coalition Submits Bill to Dissolve Israeli Parliament for Early Elections

Israel's ruling coalition, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has submitted a bill to dissolve parliament, initiating the process for early elections likely to be held at least 90 days after approval. The move comes amid pressure from ultra-Orthodox parties dissatisfied with Netanyahu's handling of military service exemptions and coalition stability. While the current term ends in October, elections could be advanced to August or September. The coalition has faced challenges including regional conflicts and internal disagreements.
