Israel headed into its fourth election campaign in two years at the stroke of midnight Tuesday, as the deadline for passing a state budget expired and the Knesset automatically dissolved by law.
Elections are expected to take place on March 23, 2021 - exactly 90 days after the Knesset dissolved as required by law.
