The coalition that Lapida managed to form following the results of the elections to the 24th Knesset was called the "bloc of changes" and is based on a minimum parliamentary majority — 61 lawmakers' votes in the 120-seat parliament.
The last elections to the Knesset, which took place on March 23, became the fourth early elections in two years after the previous parliament voted to dissolve itself.
