Coalition and opposition lawmakers reportedly closing in on compromise, amid negotiations that also involve contentious bill to bar Netanyahu from becoming PM, other legislation.

November 1 is emerging as the most likely date for the next general election as coalition and opposition lawmakers negotiate on the date of Israel’s fifth vote in less than four years, according to several Hebrew media reports Wednesday.

There has not yet been agreement on the matter and both sides are reportedly linking talks over the election date to contested legislation barring opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu from forming a future government, which some coalition MKs are aiming to rush through the Knesset before it dissolves, likely sometime next week.
