Maybe his hyper-nationalism will balance out Palestinian hyper-nationalism.

Maybe him and Donald could get together for some whine.

I'm not too familiar with all the players involved, but I hope it means a better direction for your country.

hell of a coalition
Just about every party, except for UTJ, Shas have joined to oust him

Naftali Bennett, head of the pro-settler Yamina party, is set to serve as prime minister for the first two years, after which Lapid—head of the centrist Yesh Atid party—will rotate into the top spot from the foreign ministry for the remaining two. The incipient government will also include left-wing parties Meretz and Labor, centrist faction Blue and White, and additional right-wing factions Yisrael Beiteinu and New Hope. The Islamist United Arab List is set to join the coalition as well, marking a historic first for an Arab Israeli party.
