Chinanews, June 14th, a comprehensive report, the new Israeli government was sworn in on the 13th, and the leader of the Unification Right Alliance Bennett became prime minister.
The new government includes eight political parties. It is the first government in the country's history to have an Arab political party. It also ends the right-wing party Likud leader Netanyahu for 12 consecutive years in power.
U.S. President Biden immediately congratulated Bennett and hoped to continue to strengthen relations between the two countries.
According to reports, the Knesset passed 60 votes in favor, 59 votes against, and 1 abstention to form a new government by Bennett and the leader of the "Have a Future" party leader Rapide.
According to the agreement to replace the ruling power, the 49-year-old Bennett was sworn in as the new prime minister and will be handed over to the 57-year-old Rapide in two years.
On the evening of the 13th local time, Bennett stated that the new government will work hard to "bridging the rift between the people" and "return the country to operation."
He said that in order to ensure the success of the "ideologically diverse government", the parties in the new government must "maintain restraint and moderation" in terms of ideology.
The analysis pointed out that the coalition of eight parties, including the Arab parties that became the ruling members for the first time, united in opposition to Netanyahu and the new elections, but reached little agreement in other areas.
