JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government survived an attempt to dissolve Israel's parliament early Thursday morning, with most of his ultra-Orthodox coalition partners joining him in voting against a bill that would have forced them to register for military service while the country is at war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could see himself booted from power as the Knesset faces the first vote to dissolve parliament on Wednesday amid frustrations over the protracted war in Gaza.

Israel’s longest serving prime minister faces the difficult task of overcoming opposition both domestically and abroad.
