Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is said to be planning to hold elections in November, which would scrap his coalition agreement with Blue & White that would see its leader Benny Gantz installed as premier in October 2021.
It would be Israel's fourth national ballot since April 2019.
According to the Haaretz daily, which cited sources who have spoken to Netanyahu, the prime minister does not intend to pass a state budget by August, thereby automatically triggering an election.
