Israel PM Netanyahu could be out of office ‘in days’
Benjamin Netanyahu’s run as the longest-serving Israeli prime minister may be coming to an end.
A former ally of the Israeli Prime Minister has agreed to join a rival coalition of parties in a major step towards ending the veteran leader’s rule.
Naftali Bennett – the leader of the small right-wing party Yamina revealed he is working towards a new coalition agreement with Yair Lapid who’s the leader of the centrist party Yesh Atid, to join a new government.
It’s a major event in Israeli politics and if the coalition is sworn in it would bring an end to Netanyahu’s 12 years as prime minister.
In a prime-time address on Sunday local time, Bennett told Israelis he is joining the new government to prevent the fifth round of elections and “rescue the country from spin.”
Deadline looming
While Mr Bennett and Yair Lapid, still face some challenges ahead, the sides appeared to be serious about reaching a deal and ending the deadlock that has plunged the country into four elections in the past two years.
The pair have until Wednesday to complete a deal.
That deal is expected to serve two years as prime minister in a rotation, with Mr Bennett holding the job first.

Israel strikes Tehran after Khamenei’s death; U.S. warns of prolonged conflict as tensions escalate in the Middle East.
Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran, following the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned the campaign could last up to a month, framing the operation as a move to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities.
Iran has retaliated with missile attacks, while its Revolutionary Guards claim responsibility for assaults on oil tankers in the Gulf. The escalating hostilities are already disrupting global shipping lanes and air travel, sending shockwaves through international markets.
With reports of the first U.S. casualties emerging and Washington declaring the Tehran operation a success, tensions across the Middle East are intensifying rapidly. The question now is how far this conflict could spread — and at what cost.

U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.
U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.
The United States and Israel have launched a sweeping military operation against Iran, striking leadership targets and more than 500 military sites in what President Trump has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.
Explosions have rocked Tehran, with civilians fleeing the capital as U.S. sea and air assets carry out sustained attacks. Washington says the mission is designed to prevent a nuclear armed Iran and has even called on Iranians to rise up against the regime.
Iran has retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region, including in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. While many projectiles were intercepted, a U.S. base in Bahrain sustained damage.
Gulf states long seen as stable hubs for global business are now directly in the firing line, raising fears of a wider regional war.
Oil prices are climbing and tankers are diverting from the Strait of Hormuz as markets react to the escalating conflict. U.S. aircraft carriers, advanced fighter jets and missile destroyers remain in position, signalling more strikes could follow.
With global leaders scrambling diplomatically, the world is watching to see whether this spirals further or shifts back to negotiations.
