Israeli parliament fails to pass budget, setting up snap election
Israel will face its fourth snap election in two years after its parliament missed a Tuesday deadline to pass a budget.
The snap election, which will take place in March, marks the latest development in a two-year-long saga in Israel that has already driven voters to the polls three times as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu finds himself embroiled in an ongoing corruption trial.
Despite the shadow of the corruption allegations, Netanyahu has been able to remain in power and ultimately formed a unity government with now-Defense Minister Benny Gantz, leader of the centrist Blue and White Party, earlier this year.
The current breakdown was fueled by a dispute between Netanyahu and Gantz over the national budget, which is critical to the power-sharing agreement between them that would have ushered Gantz into the role of prime minister in Nov. 2021.
Netanyahu will remain in office at least until a new government is formed after the March election. He’s led Israel since 2009 and served a previous stint as prime minister from 1996-1999.
