Netanyahu Tries to Change Election Rules

“With his mandate to form a government due to expire in two weeks, and his rivals’ efforts to form an alternative coalition gaining momentum, Netanyahu has a new strategy: changing the election rules,” Axios reports.

“In an attempt to prevent the mandate from passing to his rivals, Netanyahu floated an initiative to change the entire Israeli electoral system.”

“His new bill calls for direct elections only for the prime minister’s post, to be held in 30 days.”
