Naftali Bennett was sworn in as Israel's new prime minister on Sunday, after winning a confidence vote with the narrowest of margins, just 60 votes to 59. His victory ends a 12-year grip on power by former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the country's longest-serving leader.
After four elections in two years, Bennett's incoming government breaks a long political deadlock and ushers in the most diverse coalition Israel has ever seen, including the first Arab party to serve in the government. In his speech before the Knesset confidence vote, Bennett celebrated the diversity and warned of polarization within the country.
"Twice in history, we have lost our national home precisely because the leaders of the generation were not able to sit with one and another and compromise. Each was right, yet with all their being right, they burnt the house down on top of us," Bennett said. "I am proud of the ability to sit together with people with very different views from my own."
Bennett became the premier as the leader of Yamina, a right-wing party with only seven seats in Israel's parliament, the Knesset, making him the only prime minister in the country's history with such a small faction. By contrast, Netanyahu's Likud party won 30 seats in March's election. Once again, however, Netanyahu could not cobble together a governing coalition with a majority of the 120 members of Knesset.
US President Joe Biden on Sunday congratulated Bennett in his first statement about the political situation in Israel, saying he looked forward to working with the new prime minister.
"Israel has no better friend than the United States," Biden also wrote in his statement. "The bond that unites our people is evidence of our shared values and decades of close cooperation and as we continue to strengthen our partnership, the United States remains unwavering in its support for Israel's security. My administration is fully committed to working with the new Israeli government to advance security, stability, and peace for Israelis, Palestinians, and people throughout the broader region."

@Mike Oveli “In 2016, real median household income was $62,898, just $257 above its level in 1999. Over the next three years it grew almost $6,000, to $68,703. That’s perhaps why, despite the pandemic, 56% of U.S. voters polled last month said their families were better off today than they were four years ago.” From Bloomberg article dated October,30 2020.

@Richard Butler you are just another troll with no credibility.
@Blind to Billionaire ok, brand new troll. 🙄
@kathy weis https://youtu.be/fCMwlorNEZk
@Johnny Zeee you and the rest of the trolls are desperate. So desperate. Good.
@kathy weis Sure…. ” troll “, or whatever ” cute “, and ” woke ” terms people post in here. Seeing this ‘ war ‘, clearly, for what it is. A conflict of good, and evil. Where the only end can be victory for Israel, and peace on its terms. With its terrorist enemies called out for what they are. And their anti – Jewish, and anti – American supporters, in the US Congress, of all places, called out as supporters of those whose only reason to exist is ” Death to Israel.” Couldn’t be simpler.
Bibi is not going away for long, he states. Maybe he is going to live at Mar Lago with Trump where they can both grouse about their elections.
Folks…BB was in for 12 years…how many years does it take for a democratically elected leader to concede and give someone else the throne?
@Ad Astra He was Prime Minister from 1996 to 1999- again from 2009 to 2021- I assume they can get re-elected
@Ad Astra no term limits in most parliamentary democracies
https://youtu.be/rMOdsZekn6c
Trump 2024. Last national election for the DIMs. Bolsheviks will control the DIMs and never ‘get it to together again.’
Israel needs to add term limits to the prime minister. So that incidents like this never occur. Good riddance to Bibi.
@honeysucklecat or maybe…..just maybe…YT deletes profiles they dont like content of then guess what….you have to start a new profile.
@Dora Syiem
Jai hind. Are you Indian?
You do realize that Chinese-Israeli relations are about targeting Muslim populations globally while making an exception for and empowering Pakistan. Hence why china invaded the Ladakh, and is building a concentration camp for Modi in Arunachal Pradesh.
@Tacit Tern As soon as Biden and Obama gave $300 million to Hamas, the bombing of Israel began immediately. Trump warned about it. The cowardly terrorists in Syria pretending to be victims. If it wasn’t for Netanyahu we would have lost Europe long ago. So don’t be idiot.
@O Nero
You do realize that Israel aims nukes at every European capitol, right? An IDF whistleblower exposed the Samson Option and how its an ongoing operation.
and that this serves as an example USA
Will he be re instated in August as well? Until then, he can have a nice holiday at Mar a Lago with some other “good people from both sides”?
He thinks he will be reinstated in August

They won’t! Their left wing lunatics also didn’t burn Israeli cities, beaten up people in the streets, vandalized property and businesses owned by other Israeli citizens! … smart people these Israelis, isn’t it?

Good on the voters that made this happen.

He is in trouble on the civilian sector for tax and other fraud…now they can prosecute
https://youtu.be/eN2o_V4SrZI
He’s now vulnerable to prosecution that he’s not prime Minister 👍
@MilkCow It is a parliamentary system. I guess you don’t know what that means.
He was already indicted and is now on trial. The only difference is that now the Judges will(hopefully) not allow him miss all the hearings they allowed him to miss because he was Prime Minister. Anyhow, the trial is expected to last years as it is a complex trail for three different cases involving 333(yes, that’s the number) witnesses from the prosecution and a lot more people than just Netanyahu.
Don’t worry
Neftali bennet will support netyanhu
@MilkCow Project fear – your scaremongering won’t control the people anymore. Democracy has prevailed your NWO
https://youtu.be/rMOdsZekn6c
Now Netanyahu can finally be prosecuted for the corruption charges he has been accused of!
I`m so over Israel and their problems, glad to see him out.
@Florin Sandescu what you said makes no sense.
@Lessk That’s simple, I was disagreeing with your encouraging the US to leave the Middle East and Israel to fend for themselves. I was also cheering on the fact that you’re not involved in any kind of US serious decision making as long as you’re suggesting such simple minded solutions … reread your first comment
https://youtu.be/rMOdsZekn6c
@Tony Williams Jr. Israel took the Palestine land, they want there land back.
@Florin Sandescu there is zero value in the middle east. The US should not be doing things outside of our border. We are the world bullies and one day we will pay for it. But keep on war mongering with your Neanderthal mind.
& if I was Bennett, I’d have armed security, and not eat any treats offered, at that PRIVATE handing over of power meeting …..
No need, Trump and Bibi are using the same playbook apparently.
@SHAKE WEIGHT yea, but it is a malevolent playbook based in alternate-fact, alternate realities in which you NEVER admit to being the loser you really are – “DANGER, Will Robinson” (old U.S. TV show “Lost in Space” reference) or Joe Biden or Naftali Bennett
Israel’s version of Trump. Both are bully’s with narcissistic personalities. How about we cancel the billions we give them for military aid they use to harass the Palestinians. Put he and Trump in the ring and let them fight it out. Then throw the winner in jail.

Now he’s literally pulling his Trump card, claiming election fraud.. you lost, go away!!!
@Chad Simmons Funny that q crazy repubs are the ones getting locked up. Isn’t that weird?
Rudy was just hired to represent BIBI and demand a re-count!….just kidding, but I bet Crazy Rudy is waiting by his cell phone….
@mxnfx also Sydney Powell is getting Hugo Chavez’s radical socialist, anti-gun, pro-abortion emails, from Mike Lindell through the frauded, hacked voting machines.
Actually he claimed what is true, that Bennett lied to his followings and sat with terrorist supporters in parliment to form a coalition. He explicity said before the elections that he wont sit with Yair Lapid… that’s pretty fraudulent.
https://youtu.be/rMOdsZekn6c
Damn that must suck to have the entire room cheering in his defeat
Gave him the Mussolini treatment.
In Israel many people are sick of him and his corruption
Actually it’s only a bit more than half a room cheering.. Yet we are all glad to finally gave a government with worthy people who came to do their job and not escaping their trial.
