The vote could be the first step towards an early election as polls show the possibility of Benjamin Netanyahu continuing to hold the position of Prime Minister of Israel in the next term is very low.
There were 61 lawmakers who opposed and 53 lawmakers who supported self-dissolutions. However, the Israeli parliament has 120 seats, and the required majority to pass is 61 members of parliament.
This gives Netanyahu's ruling coalition more time to deal with the worst political crisis ever and avoid an early vote.
The tensions stemmed from Israel's persistent war in the Gaza Strip and the controversial military service bill.
Some political coalition factions have said they will vote with opposition parties to dissolve the Knesset and accelerate an election that is expected to last until the end of 2026.
Labor Party member Merav Michaeli stressed the urgency of replacing Netanyahu's government to soon end the war in Gaza and return all Israeli hostages.
Repeated polls have predicted that Netanyahu's alliance will lose in an election, as Israel is still roaming the wild due to security failures in the October 7, 2023 attack by the Hamas militant group and hostages still held in Gaza.
