Iceland's three-party coalition government, in power since November 2021, collapsed Sunday due to disagreements on policy issues, with new elections to be held in November, Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson announced.

"There are very different views ... on issues ranging from foreign policy to asylum seekers," Benediktsson told reporters, adding that he would meet with Iceland's president to submit a proposal for the dissolution of parliament and parliamentary elections in November.
