Israel is headed into its fourth elections in two years after the two main parties in its unity government failed to meet a deadline in a row over state budgets. Israel's parliament was automatically dissolved at midnight on Tuesday after a deadline to pass the 2020 state budget expired. The country will go to polls again in March, just 12 months after the last round. Two previous elections were inconclusive, resulting in a rare government of national unity govt with PM Netanyahu and his rival Benny Gantz sharing power.
