The Knesset will hold its next general elections on October 27, as announced by MK Ofir Katz on Sunday, marking the first time in nearly 40 years that elections have been called on the legally stipulated date and the first time in over half a century that an Israeli government has completed its full four-year term, according to the Knesset Committee chairman and legal advisor Sagit Afik. The current chamber completes its mandate on July 17, triggering the electoral recess.

In addition, there are 3,281 international rescuers and 26,984 registered volunteers, the senior official noted. After the earthquakes on June 24, 942 aftershocks were registered, added the president of Parliament. The double earthquake is the deadliest that Venezuela has experienced in the last century. Previously, in July 1967, an earthquake occurred near Caracas in which 245 people died, thousands were injured and material damage was extensive. The recent earthquakes affected Caracas and six other northern states of the country, of which the most affected has been La Guaira, a coastal area that already experienced a tragedy due to a landslide in 1999 that left thousands dead. This Saturday, ten days after the earthquakes, Venezuela is evaluating the damage caused to infrastructure and trying to speed up debris removal work, while the chances of rescuing survivors are reduced to a minimum.
