Netanyahu survives attempt to dissolve parliament
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government survived a June 12, 2025 vote in the Knesset to dissolve parliament in Jerusalem.
- The opposition proceeded with the vote even though they were aware it was unlikely to succeed, amid ultra-Orthodox anger over ending draft exemptions during Israel’s ongoing conflict.
- Negotiations prior to the vote produced a framework for a draft bill supported by haredi parties, which included yearly quotas and penalties for draft evasion, but no significant agreement was ultimately achieved.
- The bill failed 61 to 53, with ultra-Orthodox coalition partners voting against dissolution, and Likud MK Dan Illouz expressed cautious hesitation to support the draft law.
- The vote’s failure solidifies Netanyahu’s coalition during the longest war in Israel’s history, but deep divisions over ultra-Orthodox military service persist amid rising public frustration.
