Israel and Hamas reached a truce Tuesday evening, after Hamas fired a record number of rockets and mortars into Israel over 24 hours. The attacks were in response to a botched Israeli intelligence-gathering mission that left seven Palestinian militants and one Israeli military officer dead in Gaza on Sunday.

Under Israeli law, elections must happen by November 2019. But the prime minister can dissolve the government ahead of that and trigger elections within 60 to 90 days.
Police have recommended Mr. Netanyahu be charged with criminal bribery, fraud and breach of trust in two corruption probes, but it is up to the attorney general to decide whether to bring charges.


“The resignation of Lieberman is a recognition of defeat and the inability to confront the Palestinian resistance. It is a political victory for Gaza, which succeeded with its steadfastness to bring about a political shake-up in occupations arena,” said Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri.
