Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Will another vote change the political landscape in Israel? | Inside Story” – below is their description.
A fractious coalition government, beset by infighting.
But now Israel’s rare unity cabinet has collapsed.
A fourth election in just two years is expected to be held in a few months.
The parliament was forced to dissolve after failing to pass the annual budget.
That’s after Benny Gantz couldn’t convince PM Benjamin Netanyahu to endorse his spending plans.
The two leaders will now part ways after being bound to a power-sharing deal for months.
Their campaigns have led to inconclusive election results, previously ending in months-long politcal deadlock.
How much of a challenge is this to Benjamin Netanyahu?
