On June 13, 2021, the Israeli parliament, Knesset, voted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu out of office by a slim margin of 60 to 59 votes. After 12 years under Netanyahu’s rule, Israel will now be steered by a coalition government under the leadership of Naftali Bennet, a former commando and self-made tech billionaire. The government coalition represents parties from all ends of the political spectrum, including an Arab Islamist party called Ra’am.
