It'll be official next week: Knesset to be dissolved in favor of elections

Coalition Chairman MK Zeev Elkin (Likud) filed an official motion for the dissolution of the 18th Knesset on Wednesday.An earlier story said that Prime Minister Netanyahu wanted elections to take place in August. Given that this country (thankfully) does not allow absentee ballots, that would be insane. But not nearly as insane as Mofaz's plan to hold them on September 16. That is the eve of Rosh HaShanna, the Jewish New Year.
Likud officials told Ynet that the part will now push for elections on Tuesday, September 4.
Opposition Chairman Shaul Mofaz (Kadima) however, is pushing for Sunday, September 16 and election day.
Accordingly, the Knesset is likely to end its term next week.
