Israel opposition parties agree to form new unity government
Naftali Bennett will initially become PM, meaning an end to Benjamin Netanyahu’s 12-year tenure. …
Mr Netanyahu has already called the proposed new government the “fraud of the century”. He says it endangers the state of Israel, the people of Israel, and the soldiers of Israel. However loudly he complains, the likelihood is that he is leaving office. In the end his defeat was sealed not by left-wing opponents but by fellow right-wingers he has made into enemies by his ruthless, high-handed tactics.
