"SNIP.....

Naftali Bennett agreed to forming a coalition government with Yair Lapid, the Jerusalem Post reports.

“The two sides agreed that Bennett will serve first as prime minister until September 2023, when Lapid will take over until November 2025… The swearing-in ceremony is expected to take place in 10 days, following an announcement of the new government either on Saturday night or Sunday.”

My left-wing friends are not 1 gram less patriotic than I am
Bennett: I’m more right-wing than Bibi, but I don’t use the tools of hate
In a landmark interview, the likely election kingmaker sets out hawkish policies but an inclusive Jewish philosophy; assures voters: Israel thrived before Bibi, will soar after him

4. A rare piece of good news

Lapid (the leader of Labpr) said this according to the Jerusalem Post:

"Even if Yesh Atid had 40 seats, even if Netanyahu wasn't there, it would still be the government we need," Lapid wrote. "It's the government the people of Israel need and the State of Israel needs, we need it like air to breathe."

He said Israel needs a government in which Bennett and [Meretz leader] Nitzan Horovitz work together to improve the healthcare system, [New Hope chairman] Gideon Saar and Labor head Merav Michaeli work together to reduce social gaps and [secularist Yisrael Beytenu leader] Avigdor Liberman and [religious Zionist Blue and White minister] Chili Tropper find solutions together that allow Israel to be a Jewish state that respects the principle that religion cannot be coercive.

8. But something tells me

That Lapid won’t take over in Sep 2023, the right wingers there seem just as untrustworthy as the ones here

9. So I read a little about the key players

It seems like this is the equivalent of Ted Cruz making a deal with Joe Manchin to replace Trump, but Cruz gets to be President first and then Manchin in a couple of years
