Netanyahu Survives Knesset Dissolution Vote

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu narrowly survived a motion to dissolve the Knesset, triggered by disputes over military draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students.

The opposition’s move aimed to force early elections, leveraging deep coalition rifts.

Ultra-Orthodox parties Shas and UTJ, frustrated over stalled exemption laws, threatened to back the motion.

Netanyahu delayed the vote by flooding the Knesset agenda and citing security risks.

Though the motion failed, the episode exposed severe internal fractures, leaving Netanyahu politically weakened and vulnerable to renewed challenges.
