Unnatural Coalition Dismisses Netanyahu as Israel PM
The new government in Israel will be led by Naftali Bennett who is a hardcore right-winger
Benjamin Netanyahu will not be seeing the prime minister office after 12 years as his tenure has ended after the formation of a new coalition government with Naftali Bennett as the prime minister of Israel.
The newly-elected official is a hardcore right-winger and became the premier of Israel by replacing highly influential Netanyahu who was at the helm for over a past decade.

The current government coalition of Israel is an unprecedented spectrum whose bands constitute parties of left-wing, right-wing, center, and Ra’am, that represents the Palestinian citizens of Israel and has four seats.
Sidelining acute differences in ideologies, all political parties huddled up to end over a decade-long rule of Benjamin Netanyahu.
The settlement would only allow nationalist Bennet to serve for two years after which Yair Lapid, who heads a centrist party and is deemed as the pioneer of the unnatural alliance, will take over.
Netanyahu served as the longest-serving leader of Israel and would now sit on the opposition benches after 12 years of power.
He would also serve as the opposition leader in the Knesset.
The recent ambush on Palestine by Israel also didn’t turn members of the anti-government coalition in favor of Netanyahu and critics say that the former premier tried to instill an impression of security threat from Hamas if he didn’t remain in power.
