Israeli Minister Benny Gantz called for the country to hold elections in September during a press conference on Wednesday.

This is the first time Gantz has called for new elections since joining the war cabinet following the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 that prompted the Israel-Hamas war. Moving elections up to September this year would bring a vote forward by two years.
