It's official: New elections January 22, 2013

It's now official that Israel will be holding elections on January 22, 2013.
The final reading of the bill to dissolve the Knesset passed with 100 in favor and none opposed, over five months after it passed a nearly identical bill in its first reading before opposition leader Shaul Mofaz (Likud) joined the coalition at 2 a.m.
Although the final vote on the bill had not taken place by late Monday night, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu reassured the public at a faction meeting: “This time it’s final. We are going to elections.”
The Knesset approved the final reading for legislation dissolving itself in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
And what will this election be about? You may be surprised.
Netanyahu also delineated the condition to join his coalition, should he be reelected, which is support for his planning and construction reform.
“In the current term, my coalition partners and the opposition prevented the reform, which would have helped solve the housing crisis, from passing,” he stated.
Interesting. Not Iran, not the 'Palestinians' and not the Tal Law. Hmmm.
