Israeli stocks closed up Tuesday, recovering from a three-day plunge exacerbated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition vote to dissolve the parliament and move up elections by seven months.

The TA-35 bounced back from the decline as 30 index members advanced, with Bank Hapoalim Ltd. and Bank Leumi Le-Israel BM seen as the biggest contributors to gains.
