In Israel, a Victory for Netanyahu’s Protégés
A full-spectrum coalition includes prominent figures from the right.
Yesterday, a mere 35 minutes before the deadline, Yair Lapid—the leader of Israel’s Yesh Atid party—announced that he had succeeded in forming a governing coalition, cobbled together from parties across the political spectrum. Most notably, the eight-party coalition includes Ra’am, which will be the first Arab party ever to join an Israeli government. Yet nothing is certain, as a single defector could collapse the entire arrangement, and it could take up to twelve days before the Knesset formally approves it.
