Israel is set to hold a national election on October 27, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition, its first since the wars that ensued in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.
The precise ballot date had been unclear since the Israeli parliament voted in May to disband, raising the possibility the election could be held early.
However, coalition head Ofir Katz told a parliamentary committee on Sunday that the original October 27 date set by law would be kept. –Agencies
