Israel to face fourth election in two years as parliament dissolves Reuters © Provided by Khaleej Times Israel to face fourth election in two years as parliament dissolves Israel will hold a snap election in March after parliament failed on Tuesday to meet a deadline to pass a budget, triggering a ballot presenting new challenges for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Campaigning in Israel s fourth parliamentary election in two years gets underway with Netanyahu facing public anger over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and while he is engaged in a corruption trial, the first against an Israeli prime minister. Israel s longest-serving leader will also have to contend with a new rival from the right, Gideon Saar, a defector from Netanyahu s Likud party.
