New Israeli coalition government seeks to put an end to the Netanyahu era

The opposition-led administration will be sworn in on Sunday if it can prevail in a confidence vote in the Knesset

Benjamin Netanyahu is due to be ousted from office on Sunday by a new Israeli government formed with the primary aim of dethroning the country's longest-serving leader.

A motley grouping of politicians, including former Netanyahu allies turned foes, have set aside bitter differences to put an end to the prime minister's historic run in power. If successful, it will also break a political stalemate that has seen four snap elections in the country since 2019.
