Early Friday morning, the Israeli Knesset voted 62–0 to approve a party financing amendment, dissolving the 25th Knesset and setting Israel’s next election for October 27.

Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana closed the final plenum session, saying Israel is entering an election campaign marked by debate and disagreements, but urged Israelis to remember that “despite all differences, we are not enemies, but partners.”
