Israel will hold national elections on October 27, the parliament (Knesset) said on Sunday.

Axar.az reports, citing the Times of Israel, the Knesset will dissolve on July 17 and that elections will be held on their originally scheduled date of October 27, the latest date permitted by law.

“The current Knesset will complete its full term and will not be dissolved [early]. The election date remains as established by law — October 27,” Knesset Legal Adviser Sagit Afik said during a Knesset House Committee discussion.

This would mark the first elections to be held on schedule in Israel since 1988, and make Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s current government the first Israeli government to complete its full term since 1973.
