Benjamin Netanyahu believes that organizing early elections would be a mistake, emphasizing the importance of adopting the state budget by March 31.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that organizing early elections would be a "mistake" in the current context, emphasizing that he is concerned about the delicate situation in which his government finds itself. Netanyahu, leader of the Likud party, made these statements during a press conference, while the Israeli parliament, Knesset, is preparing to vote on the state budget. According to Israeli laws, failure to adopt the budget by March 31 would lead to the dissolution of parliament and the calling of early elections. Netanyahu, who has led the government for over 18 years, announced that he will run again in the elections, predicting that he will win, although his minority government is facing difficulties, especially from the ultra-Orthodox parties. Criticism of the management of the war in Gaza and the hostage crisis has affected his popularity, but polls suggest that he could win the upcoming elections.
