Israel Parliament Ends Netanyahu's Long Rule; Naftali Bennett Was Elected PM on 60-59 Vote

Israel's parliament today (June 13, 2021) narrowly approved a new coalition government, ending the historic 12-year rule of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the AP website reports.  


Naftali Bennett, a former ally of Netanyahu turned rival, became prime minister after the 60-59 vote.


Promising to try to heal a divided nation, Bennett will preside over a diverse and fragile coalition comprised of eight parties and deep ideological differences.
