Israel sets February 10 as date for early elections
JERUSALEM - Israel will hold elections on February 10, Knesset (parliament) Speaker Dalia Itzik announced Thursday. The date was officially set after most parties had already agreed on it in principle in a meeting with Itziki on Tuesday.The elections, a year and a month ahead of schedule, follow Ehud Olmert's resignation last month as prime minister to fight corruption charges and Foreign Minister Tzipi Linvi's failure to form a new government.
