This will be Israel's new ruling coalition, with Arab Islamists inside

The agreement on forming a new coalition government has already been reached to bring down power after 12 years of incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah. But who are the coalition partners and what is this country's policy expected to lead? The coalition in question will be led by Yair Lapidi, who has 17 seats in [...]

The coalition in question will be led by Yair Lapidi, who has 17 seats in Israel's 120-seat parliament.

The two main parties -- Yesh Attid and Kahol Lavan -- are profiled centrist. However, there will be six other parties, including Islamist Arabs with the “Raam” party led by Mansour Abbas.

The decision [to join the coalition] was difficult, but it was important to reach an agreement. There was much in the good of Arab society in Israel,” had said Abbas questioned journalists why he joined the coalition.

The Arabs have four seats, but these four seats are very important since the coalition so far has 58 seats, and with these four Arab seats it will have 62 as much as it needs to form the new government.

The rest of this coalition will be the labists led by Merav Michael, Yamina and Naphtali Bennett, Gideo Saʹari's New Hope, and the Meretz of Nitzan Horowitz.

However, the main problem is the parties' ideological profile. Most of the parties are either central or right, with only two left parties together having thirteen seats.    

The prime minister of Israel by 2023 would be Mr. Naphtali Bennett, while after 2023 until holding new elections, it would be Yair Lapid. /Periscope
