 Israeli opposition parties have reached an agreement to form a new government that would end Benjamin Netanyahu's 12-year tenure as Prime Minister. Year Lapid, leader of the centrist Yish Atid party, announced 8th faction coalition had been formed. Under a rotation agreement, the head of the right-wing Yamina party, Naftali Bennett, would serve as Prime Minister first before handing over to Mr. Lapid. There still needs to be a parliamentary vote before the government is sworn in. In a statement, Mr. Lapid said he had informed President Reuven Rivlin of the agreement pledging that his government would work in the service of all Israeli citizens, those who voted for it and those who did not. An image carried on Israeli media showed Mr. Lapid, Mr. Bennett and Arab Ram party leader Mansour Abbas signing the agreement a deal many thought impossible. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
