Lawmakers in the Knesset approved a bill to dissolve parliament in a first reading on Wednesday. This brings early elections in Israel closer, according to Deutschlandfunk.

The decision is the first of several necessary steps. Further readings are required for a final dissolution and to set a date for new elections. Israel’s governing coalition has recently been weakened by internal conflicts.
