Benjamin Netanyahu's rivals were on the brink of removing him from power on Sunday after Naftali Bennett, a right-wing firebrand, signalled that he would join a coalition government with centrist leader Yair Lapid.
Mr Bennett, the leader of the Yamina party, and Mr Lapid are said to be closing in on a coalition deal that unites parties across the political spectrum, in a move that would oust Israel's longest-serving and most controversial prime minister after 12 years in power.
According to Israeli media reports, Mr Bennett, a former defence minister and modern Orthodox Jew, has told allies in Yamina that he is ready to form a "change" government where he would serve as prime minister for two years before handing the reins to Mr Lapid.
Mr Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption charges that he strongly denies, was desperately trying to scupper the emerging coalition on Sunday by offering a power-sharing agreement to Mr Bennett and the right-wing New Hope leader Gideon Saar.
"We are at a fateful moment for Israel's security, character and future, when you put aside any personal considerations and take far-reaching and even unprecedented steps," Mr Netanyahu said in a video statement.
However, Mr Saar has already rejected those overtures and has maintained his support for the anti-Netanyahu coalition.
Even if Mr Bennett's so-called "change" coalition ousts Mr Netanyahu, the alliance has little in common beyond its determination to end the Netanyahu dynasty.
It would also require external support from Arab members of parliament who vehemently oppose Mr Bennett's wider political agenda, such as annexing swathes of the West Bank, which is claimed by the Palestinians as their own land.
Due to the fragility of the alliance, it would likely avoid controversial policies such as settlement expansion and instead focus on reviving Israel's economy

From Bennett:
Racial mixing, or “assimilation” between Jews and non-Jews is a “crisis” which is undermining the link between Diaspora Jews and Israel, that country’s official Diaspora Minister Naftali Bennett has said. https://www.eutimes.net/2018/12/mixing-between-jews-and-non-jews-is-a-crisis-says-israeli-government/
I’m negative about Bennett
Making a share deal with Lapid is poison to satisfy his own ambition
Man Israeli politics are the perfect counter to any charges of a ZOG plot for new world order
Jews have a difficult time agreeing anything together
The Knesset whew
Course our own congress has its moments
RE: My ex is 88. I’m 64. Had to quit. She was too young for me.
I don’t know what this has to do with the topic of this thread.
One of those jokes that sounded better in their head i guess.
Rd later.
Or posted in the wrong open window. I learned to open replies one at a time.
Israel’s just a year older than Bibi.
Not sure that I’m helping your cause.
“Jews have a difficult time agreeing anything together”
A single man, a jew, survivor of a tragic shipwreck, washes ashore on a remote island.
Upon gathering his wits, he proceeds to explore the island for basic needs: food, water, shelter. Days turn to weeks, weeks to years, and a random sailor discovers “his” island.
Meeting with the castaway, the sailor is amazed at the work the jew has done. He’s built a village, a hospital, a schul, a library, a boat dock, a vast garden irrigated with fresh water from a far-off mountain spring, and two temples.
“Why the two temples?” inquires the sailor.
“Well, THIS temple is the one where I worship the most holy of holies, but the other? GOYIM! I wouldn’t worship there if you PAID ME!”
Ba-DUM-bump-ching! I’m here all week. Try the veal. Don’t forget to tip your waiter.
Huh?
Prepping for the Iran takedown?
I do think Bennett is to the right of Bibi, however this is cancelled out by his "coalition partner” being to the LEFT of Bibi.
. In any case, Likud overall is nothing to write home about. I lost all respect for them when I found out Bibi's “conservative” party supports the Gaystopo agenda and taxpayer funded abortion on demand. They are further left on social policy than most of our Democrats!
MORE right wing than Net? I may be able to be convinced.
Damn, by the name I was expecting some hot Israeli woman.
..., in a move that would oust Israel's longest-serving and most controversial prime minister after 12 years in power.
I know it's MSN but... right-wing firebrand? Israel's most controversial prime minister? Tone down the hyperbole.
