Netanyahu calls for early general election in Israel
Published: 6th May 2012 19:12:29
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for an early general election in four months' time.
The vote is expected to take place in September, a year before he is required by law to seek a new mandate.
Mr Netanyahu leads a centre-right coalition which includes his own Likud, and the Labour party of Ehud Barak.
Mr Netanyahu has been prime minister since 2009. Opinion polls suggest that he is by some distance the most popular politician in Israel.
He told a meeting of party workers in Tel Aviv that he didn't want "a year and a half of political instability accompanied by blackmail and populism".
After listing the accomplishments of his government, he said he would like to lead a broadly based coalition after the election.
