The bill will now head to the Knesset Committee, led by Nir Orbach

Israel's parliament (Knesset) approved a preliminary bill to dissolve itself Wednesday.

The vote passed with an overwhelming majority, standing at 110-0. The Knesset holds 120 members. 

Lawmakers approved 11 different proposals, nine by the opposition and two by the coalition. The bills were brought together in a parliamentary process that packages various proposals similar to each other.

Knesset dissolution requires four separate votes and two committee reviews and will most likely be completed next week.
