April 2019 Israeli legislative election
Wikidata classes on our event-class list: public election (all its classes: Wikidata item)
Early legislative elections were held in Israel on 9 April 2019 to elect the 120 members of the 21st Knesset. Elections had been due in November 2019, but were brought forward following a dispute between members of the current government over a bill on Haredi conscription, as well as impending corruption charges against incumbent prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu's Likud tied with Blue and White alliance of Benny Gantz, both winning 35 seats. The balance of power was held by smaller parties, with a majority being right-wing and religious parties that had previously sat in coalition with Likud, which would have allowed Netanyahu to form the next government.
Due to fractures over Haredi conscription within the Netanyahu coalition, efforts at government formation ultimately failed, leading to a snap election in September five months later.
