Two Israeli politicians announced an agreement that would allow them to create a unity government and remove long-time Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Yair Lapid of the centrist Yesh Atid party and Naftali Bennett of the right-wing Yamina party announced the agreement on Sunday. Both men were previously members of Netanyahu’s cabinet. Lapid served as Finance Minister from 2013-2014. Bennett held five different cabinet positions from 2013-2020.
