Chinanews, June 15th, a comprehensive report, on the 13th local time, the leader of the Israeli Unity Right Alliance Bennet was formally sworn in as Israeli Prime Minister, ending Netanyahu's 12-year prime ministerial career.
Netanyahu, 71, said after stepping down that he would overthrow this "bad" government as an opposition party and "we will come back soon."
On the 13th, the Knesset held a vote of confidence on the formation of a new government.
In the end, the 8-party coalition jointly led by Bennett and the leader of the center-left "future" party leader Rapide succeeded in forming a cabinet with a slight advantage of 60 votes in favor, 59 votes against, and 1 abstention.
According to the coalition government’s power-sharing agreement, Bennett served as prime minister for two years, and then Rapide took over as prime minister for two years.
Bennett said at the first cabinet meeting of the new government on the evening of the 13th that the new government will work hard to bridge the gap between the people and restore the country to functioning.
He also said that in order to ensure the success of the "ideologically diverse government", the parties in the new government must maintain ideological restraint and moderation.
However, analysis believes that apart from the desire to overthrow Netanyahu, the parties have little in common. The ideologies and social policy orientations of the parties are quite different. It remains to be seen whether the coalition government can operate stably.
Therefore, compared to external affairs, the coalition government may pay more attention to domestic issues, including some social development issues that are easier to reach consensus, such as fighting the new crown epidemic and promoting economic recovery, so that Israel can get out of the current economic and social crisis.
On the other hand, public opinion believes that Netanyahu, who is facing corruption lawsuits after losing his position as prime minister, is likely to launch a political counterattack in order to avoid imprisonment.
The Likud group led by Netanyahu is still the largest party, providing conditions for Netanyahu to "turn over."
In addition, Israel’s neighbors believe that Netanyahu’s stepping down will not cause much change in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute and the broader Middle East issue that they are concerned about.
Analysts pointed out that on the Palestine issue, all Israeli governments hold the same position, and said that Bennett’s appointment as prime minister may make the already complicated Israeli-Palestinian issue more clouding.
The leaders of the United States, the European Union and Russian President Vladimir Putin have congratulated Bennett.
U.S. President Biden issued a statement congratulating the Israeli coalition government on coming to power, saying that he "looks forward to working with Prime Minister Bennett to strengthen all aspects of the close and lasting relationship between the two countries."
Biden also said that the United States "unswervingly supports Israel's security (appeal)."
On March 23 this year, Israel held its fourth parliamentary election in two years. In April, Israeli President Rivlin authorized Netanyahu to form a new government, but Netanyahu failed to form a cabinet before the deadline of midnight on May 4. In May, Rivlin authorized Rapide to form a cabinet. On the evening of June 2, Rapide announced the successful formation of a new government.
