Knesset Legal Adviser: Knesset cannot be prevented from dissolving itself
(Communicated by the Knesset Spokesman)
Following an examination of article 10 of Basic Law: The Government, the Knesset Legal
Adviser has determined that the Knesset cannot be prevented from
deciding to dissolve itself.
The adviser points out that a Knesset decision to dissolve itself and
hold general elections for the Knesset and prime minister will be
restricted to the date for special elections for prime minister, which
is the last Tuesday before the expiry of 60 days from the prime
minister's resignation.
The Knesset Legal Adviser notes that there are those who claim
that the Knesset is entitled to fix a date for elections for prime
minister and the Knesset beyond that imposed by the 60-day limit, but
adds that this issue has not yet been decided.
