Israel heads for polls after unity govt crumbles



JERUSALEM: Israel is hold 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, BBC reported.

Voters will return to the polls in March, just 12 months after the last round.

Two previous elections were inconclusive, resulting in a rare government of national unity.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on trial for alleged corruption, is hoping to return to office for a sixth time.

He denies the criminal charges against him, dismissing them as politically motivated.
