Israeli Opposition Agree to Form Government and Oust Netanyahu

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has informed the country’s president that a coalition of eight parties from across the political divide have agreed to form a government and bring an end to Netanyahu’s 12-year grip on power. The role of prime minister would rotate between Lapid and Naftali Bennett – a far-right politician and multi-millionaire. Can the coalition government secure parliamentary approval?
