Israel’s parliament on Wednesday voted to dissolve a mere month after it was sworn in, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to meet the midnight deadline to form a new government, triggering an unprecedented second national election this year.
After a raucous 12-hour debate, lawmakers voted 74 to 45 in favor of the Likud-drafted bill to dissolve the 21st Knesset and hold new elections on September 17.
The Likud, Yisrael Beytenu, United Torah Judaism, Shas and Union of Right-Wing Parties were joined by the two Arab-Israeli parties, Ra’am-Balad and Hadash-Ta’al in supporting the motion. Only Kulanu MK Roy Folkman was absent from the late-night votes. He is expected to quit politics.

Looks like it is a continuation of the battle between those who serve in the Military and those who refuse to serve. Politics are no easier in Foreign Nations than they are in the USA.

The US has separation between church and state. As Israel is part of the Middle East, then their gov't is going to fall in line with the Islamic countries and thus not have that separation.

Thirteen countries – including nine in Europe – are officially Christian, two (Bhutan and Cambodia) have Buddhism as their state religion, and one (Israel) is officially a Jewish state.
I heard that on the radio and wonder how that works. Is there an entire new election with the citizens voting, or does the parliament just have an internal vote?

I'm pretty sure his opponent was the commander of IDF.
And just FYI, pretty much everyone serves in Israel.
