Israeli Channel 12's political commentator says "when we talk of a change in the manner of holding elections, we're not just speaking technically or tactically, but farther than this."

Israeli media commented on Monday on the Israeli government's decision to dissolve the Knesset and hold early elections after next week's vote.

Israeli Channel 12's political commentator Amnon Abramovich said that with the current manner of holding elections, "we're practically breaking 'Israel' apart one step at a time."

Abramovich further said that what he means about the manner of holding elections doesn't refer to the technical or tactical aspects, rather it goes farther than this. "We've had four elections so far, and are headed for the fifth," pointing out that "there's a saying that says that if you do something over and over again and expect different results, that's not going to happen."

According to Abramovich, even if Netanyahu's bloc reaps 61 seats, it is still not possible to manage "Israel" with 61 MPs.

Israeli media reported that Netanyahu welcomed the decision to dissolve the government, as he called this a great night for Israelis, and announced that he will form a Likud-led government.

Channel 12's political commentator Amit Segal stated that the last thing "Israel" needed is a four-month-five-day-long electoral battle. "This is a very long period, the longest for at least 15 years," considering that "this is not a good thing amid the economic crisis" the occupation is currently going through.

Lapid: "Israel" in need of deep, wide reform

"Israel's" Foreign Minister, Yair Lapid, said during a press conference with Israeli occupation PM Naftali Bennett, that "Israel's" challenges will not await, even if the elections are months away, adding that the rise in living costs and the fight against Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah are things that must be handled.

He further stated that what happened in the past few days and this evening is additional proof that the Israeli institution is in need of deep, wide reforms.

After the Israeli government announced its intent to dissolve Knesset, and for the occupation's Foreign Minister Yair Lapid to handle the premiership instead of Naftali Bennett in the interim period, before heading for early elections, Maariv said that the agreed-upon date for the elections is October 25, 2022.

Israeli media outlets said the decision to dissolve Knesset was made after efforts were exhausted to keep some sort of stability in the coalition, and that Naftali Bennett is currently in talks with party leaders.

It was also reported that Yair Lapid will be the one to receive Biden during his visit on July 13.
