That the Joint List will join the coalition, or at least promise to back it in any no-confidence votes, that Israel can avoid early elections. I count 61 current votes for the current coalition. So they still have a bare majority.

I'm surprised the gov has lasted as long as it has .
The whole motivation behind the last election was to rid us of Bibi .
Ideology of the Left was sacrificed to that cause and its going to cost us .
The Joint List refused to participate .....and that will be remembered .

If you want to understand read this :

Meretz abandons its last core value

The Israeli left argued that ousting Netanyahu would open the space to fight the occupation. A vote on an apartheid law shows the opposite has happened.

Bibi has a chance to return. Even as he is still facing corruption charges. Unbelievable.

there is much worse waiting in the wings than Bibi .
He is using the Kahanists to regain power .
We on the Left have been warning about this for years .
Now the Center are waking up :

“The strongest person today in the opposition is not [Benjamin] Netanyahu, it’s Itamar Ben Gvir,” Lapid said in a swipe at the former prime minister.

Even the Ultra-Orthodox are worried :

Ultra-Orthodox parties fear vote drain as Haredi youth turns to far-right

Analysis: As more and more young religious Jews find firebrand MK Itamar Ben Gvir's political ideas appealing, Haredi party leaders become concerned with Otzma Yehudit stealing votes from ultra-Orthodox in upcoming elections

After years in which far-right MK Itamar Ben Gvir was relentlessly denounced by the Left, the leader of the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party recently had to content with similar treatment from the right side of the political map.

Lapid will serve as caretaker PM until new elections in October.

The Knesset's failure to re-authorize separate West Bank legal systems was the final straw, but Bibi remains the omnipresent issue driving Israeli politics.

On Monday night, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced that he would be dissolving the current Knesset, thereby triggering Israel’s fifth round of elections in just over three years for sometime in the fall. In the interim, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, who was not due to become prime minister as part of this government until 2023, will take Bennett’s place at the helm.

The Bennett-Lapid government survived exactly a year and a week before crumbling. Over the past few weeks, members of Bennett’s own Yamina party have been leaving the coalition and allying with opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, while other coalition members have been conditioning their support for the government on particular pieces of legislation, such as the cancellation of a planned reform in public transportation. Thus, with no guaranteed majority in the Knesset, the government was rendered effectively dysfunctional, with party leaders already having begun to prepare for the inevitable elections.

The straw that broke the coalition camel’s back goes far deeper than the standard political wrangling. At the end of the month, Israel’s “emergency regulations,” a set of temporary laws that establish legal segregation between Jewish settlers and Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, which has been renewed every five years by every government for 55 years, were set to expire. The opposition decided to vote against renewing what have been dubbed by some the “apartheid regulations,” which they fully support in principle, in order to spite the government and try to bring it down.
