Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid of the Yesh Atid party have reached an agreement to form a coalition government which might end Benjamin Netanyahu’s 12-year rule. Bennett was also a firm supporter of the recent bombing of Gaza

Lapid’s name was announced by president Reuven Rivlin after the 28-day deadline for current prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form a majority coalition government expired on Tuesday

No coalition or party was able to secure majority support in the two previous elections, held in April and September of last year
