Israel Dissolves Knesset as Country Heads Toward 3rd Election This Year
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Israel, the Knesset has dissolved, and the country is headed toward
its third national election in a year, after Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and rival Benny Gantz both failed to form a governing
coalition. The election will be held on March 2. The political chaos in
Israel comes as Netanyahu is also facing charges in three criminal
corruption cases.
