国际英语新闻:Parliament dissolved, Israel heading to another elections

JERUSALEM, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- Israel's parliament was dissolved on Tuesday night amid a political crisis between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his main rival Benny Gantz, triggering the fourth elections in two years.

Israel's Knesset (parliament) was automatically dissolved after the government failed to approve the 2020 state budget by the deadline. Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin adjourned the last Knesset session and called lawmakers to "avoid incitement" during the upcoming campaigns.

The next elections are scheduled to take place on March 23.
