NETANYAHU IS OUT AS ISREAL'S PRIME MINISTER

The new Isreali government actually gets a vote of confidence — a huge if — Bennett will lead a coalition of eight parties ranging from right to left. The real power will be centrist Yair Lapid, who sewed this strange coalition together, who leads the coalition’s largest party, Yesh Atid, and who will become prime minister in two years if — a humongous if — the coalition survives. As prime minister, Bennett will at most be first among equals in the cabinet, and perhaps only a figurehead.
