Israeli parliament passes preliminary motion to dissolve itself as PM Netanyahu struggles to form a government
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives to attend an inauguration ceremony of Israel's 21st Knesset, or parliament, in Jerusalem, April 30, 2019.
But he has struggled to form a government ahead of a looming deadline to do so. His prospective coalition has been thrown into crisis in recent days by former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, an ally and sometimes rival of Netanyahu's. Lieberman has insisted on passing a new law mandating that young ultra-Orthodox men be drafted into the military, like most other Jewish males. Netanyahu's ultra-Orthodox allies demand that the draft exemptions remain in place."The draft law has become a symbol and we will not capitulate on our symbols," Lieberman defiantly said, vowing to press for new elections if his demands are not met.Netanyahu and Lieberman met on Monday evening in a last-ditch effort to find a compromise.
A stalemate on the issue was one of the factors that shortened the term of the previous coalition government, which Lieberman resigned from months before elections were called because he disagreed with its policy toward the Gaza Strip.
