Israeli Knesset dissolves after passing controversial legislation ahead of October election.
Israel's parliament dissolved on July 17, 2026, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition rushed through a package of contentious bills in the session's final days. The legislation included measures granting temporary immunity to ultra-Orthodox draft evaders and establishing government oversight of national media. The Knesset completed its first full term since 1988, with national elections scheduled for October 27, 2026.
