Israel's parliament to dissolve, Foreign Minister Lapid to become prime minister
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid have agreed to dissolve parliament, triggering a new election, and Lapid will in the meantime take over as prime minister, an official said, confirming local media reports.
A vote will be held in parliament next week, after which Lapid will take over the premiership.
