Far-right politician would be Israel’s next PM in proposed deal

Yair Lapid says Naftali Bennett would serve first in proposed post-Netanyahu power-sharing deal

The far-right Israeli politician Naftali Bennett will be the country's next prime minister under a proposed power-sharing deal intended to oust Benjamin Netanyahu, the head of the opposition has confirmed.

Yair Lapid said in a speech on Monday that his efforts to forge a coalition of ideologically opposed parties could lead to a new government within days, and with it, Netanyahu's removal from office after 12 years in power.
