Israeli opposition urges early elections

On Saturday, Shaul Mofaz, the head of the Kadima party, proposed to bring forward the date for the elections to October 16th, Ha’aretz reported.

He warned that Kadima will facilitate a bill to dissolve the Knesset if the cabinet does not follow through.

His comments come while Labor Party leader Shelly Yacimovich and Meretz Party leader Zehava Gal-On are expected to introduce a Knesset motion calling for the dissolution of parliament.

Meanwhile, the chair of Netanyahu’s largest coalition partner — Yisrael Beiteinu — has announced that he no longer feels bound to the coalition.

General elections are currently slated to be held in October 2013.
