Israel needs early elections during the war to address various issues that are affecting the country's democracy. The current government does not accurately reflect public opinion, and if early elections were held today, the makeup of the Knesset would significantly change. The government is also facing challenges from coalition members seeking exemptions from military service and parties that may fail to pass the qualifying threshold. Critics argue that holding elections during a war is not ideal, but there are concerns that the government may be using the war as a means to maintain its coalition. Early elections would allow for concrete propositions and discussions on important issues such as the rights and duties of different groups in Israel and the makeup of the Supreme Court.
