New Israeli Coalition Formed

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has succeeded in forming a coalition, and securing his government.

An agreement was made, within hours of the deadline, between his Likud-Yisrael Beitenu alliance, Yesh Atid, and Jewish Home.

Netanyahu had already had to seek a two week extension.

Had he not been successful another would've been offered the Prime Minister spot.

The new government will have only twenty-two ministers, making it one of the smallest Israel has seen.

It also marks the first time in over a decade that a coalition government will not include any of the Ultra Orthodox parties.
