Israeli PM Netanyahu’s Opponents Have Reached Deal to Remove Him From Office

What Happened:

• On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhyahu’s opponents announced that they have reached a deal to form a new government coalition and remove the longtime Israeli leader from office.

• The announcement was made by opposition leader Yair Lapid and his coalition partner Naftali Bennett. Under the new agreement, Lapid and Bennett will each serve as prime minister on a two year rotation.

• The agreement needs to be approved by parliament, which plans to vote on the issue next week.

• The dramatic announcement came just moments before the midnight deadline, thereby preventing the country’s fifth election in two years.
