At the end of the "21 days" to get the governors, the 22nd Knesset was signed when none of the Knesset members could form a government.

A miracle has not happened: Israeli citizens will have to face the polls on March 2, the third time in less than a year. Although this was the last opportunity to try to prevent elections - during the day almost no effort was made to negotiate between the parties in the political system, trying to reach consensus. In the afternoon, the Special Committee unanimously approved the Knesset's dissemination bill as well as amendments to the 23rd Knesset Election Law.

The bill deals with special provisions designed to assist the Election Commission in properly conducting elections, provisions that are valid because of the tight deadlines between electoral systems. In addition, the bill states that the election committee's budget will be the same as the 22nd Knesset election committee budget.

New poll: The left bloc with 60 seats

Continuous re-election - even in European countries

Date choices: More of the same, plus risk

Central Election Commission CEO Attorney Orly Ades said the voter register would increase by about 80,000 voters since the September election. She said shortening the deadlines would not impair the process and fundamental principles of the voters and the voting results.

"Enough for the spinning spell"

If for a brief moment yesterday afternoon, last-minute drama seemed likely - very quickly it turned out that like all attempts in recent weeks, there was no breakthrough yesterday. During the day, Netanyahu was reportedly considering responding to the blue-and-white requirement and publicly announcing that he was giving up immunity.

However, the political system estimates that this is a last-minute spin intended to show that Blue and White refuse to enter the government with Netanyahu, even if he announces his willingness to waive the immunity - and indeed not long afterwards, the Likud issued a vigorous denial: "They have failed in any way unity government and failed to form a minority government with Ahmed Tibi and Ayman Odeh. A few more hours remain. If Blue and White agree to apply sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and communities in Judea and Samaria, a government can be formed immediately and prevent elections."

Non-stop charges

In his speech at the Knesset plenum, MK Yair Lapid said that "this election has only three reasons - bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Keep the kids away from TV: There are choices, and those choices are going to be a festival of hate and violence and disgust. So make sure your kids aren't at the TV for the next three months so they don't see what the elected officials tell them. What used to be the great democratic celebration becomes the shameful moment of this house. "

MK Mickey Zohar of the Likud addressed the issue of immunity, saying: "In blue and white, knowing the waiver of the request for immunity knows well the end of the Netanyahu era. Therefore, I call on the Prime Minister again to submit the request for immunity and thus we will get you calm and quiet to your work for the citizens of Israel and avoid the media and the left the festivities at our expense. I have no doubt that you will prove your innocence immediately at the end of your term with God. "

According to him, immunity is not a pardon, it states that the legal hearing will begin immediately after the term of office. Netanyahu's haters are eager to see themselves in power, ignoring any other consideration. Immunity for the prime minister is good for a state that will maintain sanity and it is good for the legal process to be free of political considerations. "
