Israel Rings in New Government, Ending 12-Year Netanyahu Rule
Newsy
Naftali Bennett is taking the reins as prime minister from Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's leader for the last 12 years.
A new government in Israel — marking the end of Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister and the promise of a return to normalcy... after a politically turbulent past two years. Naftali Bennett, the head of a small ultranationalist party, is now taking over as prime minister... and...to keep the job...he'll have to balance an eight-party coalition. That's because if just just one of the eight wavers in their united opposition to Netanyahu, the new government could lose its majority, giving the long-running leader — still on trial for corruption — a chance to regain the power he has vowed to take back.More Related News
