Channel 13 reported that the opposition parties have agreed to submit a bill to dissolve the Knesset. Ultra-Orthodox Minister Goldknopf says, “at the request of the great men of Israel, we will vote for the dissolution of the Knesset.”
If the bill is passed, it will not mean immediate dissolution; rather, it will go to a second and third reading in the coming period. In order for Netanyahu’s government to fall and for early elections to be held, the bill must pass all three readings.
Israel Today said Netanyahu expressed his concern about the election in a closed-door conversation, saying, “Without a victory in Gaza, we have nothing to go to the elections with.”
Israeli journalist Ravit Hecht in Haaretz: “In an effort to dissuade the Haredi parties from their rush to dissolve the Knesset, Netanyahu is relying on the Iranian threat as a tool of pressure. Netanyahu has previously used the idea of military action against nuclear facilities in Iran to keep the government afloat.”
Maariv said Lieberman’s Israel Today party plans to move forward with the plan to dissolve the Knesset without waiting for the Haredim, which puts them in an “embarrassing” position.

Smotrich in the Knesset plenary session: “We do not overthrow a right-wing government. Going to elections means losing the war, and this is an existential danger for the future of Israel. We do not have an unlimited hourglass. There must be complete surrender and the destruction of Hamas, within two to three months.”
Yedioth Ahronoth, quoting a Unit 8200 officer: “I refused to return to duty or reserve and the war is being waged for Netanyahu’s personal reasons. Netanyahu has lost the public’s trust and is holding an entire country hostage for personal reasons. We have decided to disobey the military orders, which are being questioned at this stage of the war.”
Hamas lamented in a press release: “The approval by the occupation government’s Finance Minister, Smotrich, of the decision to seize 800 dunams of land east of Ramallah, near the settlement outpost Malachi Hashalom, is a practical implementation of his colonial plans in the West Bank and an affirmation of his government’s fascist policies, which include annexation and forced displacement projects.” “This decision, and the dangerous phases of settlement that preceded it in the West Bank, require the activation of all forms of popular resistance and the initiation of a comprehensive confrontation with the occupation. Our people and their courageous resistance are the impregnable bulwark against Zionist attempts to control our land and our holy places.”
Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh: “We have successfully tested a missile with a two-ton warhead. If negotiations do not reach a result and a confrontation is forced upon us, we will respond forcefully and inflict heavy losses on the enemies. If war is forced upon us, America will have to leave the region and we will target all its bases. We will not accept any military restrictions in the negotiations and no one is allowed to negotiate on this issue.
