The Israeli gov't will have its first back to back elections after prime minister Netanyahu failed to form a coalition. The date for new elections is 17 Elul/ September 17 2019. The knesset voted to dissolve with a majority of 74 - 45.
Negotiations went down to the wire with charedi parties offering to compromise on the Giyus Law. Degel Hatorah faction of UTJ and the Shas party joined together without the Agudah party by fully accepting the current Giyus law as is in an attempt to appease and form a coalition.
All proposals were rejected by Lieberman and the 21st Knesset voted to dissolve itself.
Prime minister Netanyahu lashed out at Lieberman saying he took the country twice to elections in 8 months only becsuse he wanted more mandates he is now part of the left.
MK Litzman said it was not the Giyus law that bothered lieberman he instead used it as a excuse and stirred charedi hatred to get his way.
