According to new reports, Israel’s opposition party has secured the numbers to form a new majority government in Israel.
Yair Lapid from the centrist Yesh Atid party, has just announced that a deal has been reached.
Lapid was seeking the support of a right wing politician, Naftali Bennett, expected to become the country’s Prime Minister.
Under the agreement, Lapid and Bennett will split the job of prime minister in a rotation.
Bennett will serve the first two years, while Lapid will serve the final two.
This follows Lapid securing a number of deals, to help lock in the numbers and form the new majority.
Over the past week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been appealing to his fellow right-wing politicians to not join the proposed coalition.
Prior to a new government being formed, the members would still be required to achieve a vote of confidence in Parliament, which may prove difficult.
If the vote is not successful, Israelis may be back to the polling booths.. for the fifth time in five years.
