-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today .

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Wait, how is this the first time I'm hearing about the Knesset being dissolved? So... Netanyahu is just going to make himself an explicit autocrat and I've never even heard about it before now?
I'm not kidding when I say it's a very basic part of the Israeli state. Only 6 out of 23 Knessets have ever gone full term. It's more news if it didn't happen.
Typically, dissolving parliament doesn't refer to the abolition of the institution, but an end to the current electoral mandate and a call for new elections. It happens in most parliamentary systems when an impasse is reached, unlike the US where we repeatedly shut down the government, furlough hundreds of thousands of state employees, and jack off for a year and a half until the next scheduled federal election.
That's just the thing you do to call an election. Happens in most parliamentary systems.
