Israel is on its way to new elections after the dissolution of the Knesset, the parliament.
For the fourth time in two years, a new ballot will be organized.
The ruling coalition failed to agree on how to pass the budget.
The government of unity and emergency between the Likud of Benyamin Nethanyahu and the Bleu-blanc Benny Gantz party therefore only lasted eight months.
