Another Far-Right leader ousted: Netanyahu gets the boot

Netanyahu out, Bennett in as Israel marks end of an era

JERUSALEM, June 13 (Reuters) - Benjamin Netanyahu’s record 12-year run as Israel’s prime minister ended on Sunday with parliament approving a new “government of change” led by nationalist Naftali Bennett, an improbable scenario few Israelis once could have imagined.

But the razor-thin 60-59 vote of confidence in a coalition of left-wing, centrist, right-wing and Arab parties with little in common except a desire to unseat Netanyahu, only underscored its likely fragility. -snip

Israel followed in America's footsteps and booted out its Far-Right leader, so good on them for that. Now they need to work with the Palestinians and find a solution that works for both parties.

good 👆

Top notch! 👆

👍 nice

Finally.

He's not done. I'm sure he'll be back as the prime minister at some point.

One gets the boot and another, possibly worse one, gets in. Not sure that's a great development for the people suffering under Israel's authoritarianism.

Do you think the new guy is a US agent ?

Not really. I mean Israel is deeply dependent on the US, so the US has immense influence no matter the administration. It's not wrong when Netanyahu describes Israel as a giant US aircraft carrier.

Is the new regime going to do deals with the house of Saud? Putin?

Artol has reminded me of the corruption over there.

Netanyahu sucked, but is the new guy any better?

Nah, he was a strong and sensible leader for his country; certainly better than the disappointment that Boris Johnson has turned out to be... and like I said before, he'll be back.... you can count on it.

No.

So why are people celebrating?

I guess just because he deserved to be booted out, regardless of whom is replacing him.
