A Knesset dissolution bill is expected to advance to second and third readings this week, with the likely election date set for October 20, journalist Avishai Elituv reports. The three laws the Haredi parties demanded — reportedly a Basic Law: Torah Study, an anti-desertion bill, and another measure — will 'be buried deep alongside the enriched uranium,' according to the report.
A single-source report from journalist Avishai Elituv indicates the coalition is moving rapidly toward Knesset dissolution, with a vote on second and third readings expected within the week. The emerging election date is October 20 — the eve of Prime Minister Netanyahu's 77th birthday — aligning with a previous report by Yedioth Ahronoth (June 12) cited as BACKGROUND coverage. According to Elituv, the three legislative priorities Haredi parties had demanded — a Basic Law: Torah Study, an anti-desertion bill, and a third measure — will not pass and will 'be buried deep alongside the enriched uranium,' a metaphor suggesting they are dead. The context includes earlier reports (June 15, June 20) showing pressure from Haredi parties to dissolve the Knesset amid frustration over stalled legislation, though this new development frames the dissolution as imminent and the legislative agenda as abandoned. The report is single-source and the exact status of the three bills (names, specifics) is not independently confirmed at this time.
