Looks like Bibby's time as Prime Minister might finally be coming to an end (1 Viewer)

While not a done deal yet, it seems more and more that Netanyahu might be on the verge of being ousted as Israeli Prime Minister...

Bennett tells party members he is headed for a "change government" that will oust Netanyahu

A "change government" would bring an end to 12 years of Benjamin Netanyahu's rule.

I'm not sure how this new possible coalition government will be for a possible two-state solution.

Netanyahu has 9 lives. He was PM in the 90s, got defeated. Came back in the 2000s and became PM again. Avoided being ousted various times throughout the years. In total he has been PM for like 5 times

Bibi is only half the problem for a deal with the Palestinians. I don't think he was an honest partner for peace for the Palestinians, but I don't think the Palestinians have an honest partner for the Israelis to deal with.

This is likely true. I'm not sure much changes if Bibi is gone.

Especially considering Hamas controls the Palestinian government.

Yeah. Madeleine Albright had a saying "The Palestinians never miss a chance to miss a chance." In the '90's, the Israelis offered them the best deal they'll ever get, but Arafat walked away from that deal. And since that time, the PLO got weaker and Hamas has gotten stronger, and they are not a willing partner to peace with Israel.

It's a mess.

Bibby is out...

Israel's new prime minister is sworn in, ending Netanyahu's 12-year grip on power | CNN

Naftali Bennett was sworn in as Israel’s new prime minister on Sunday, after winning a confidence vote with the narrowest of margins, just 60 votes to 59. His victory ends a 12-year grip on power by former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the country’s longest-serving leader.

Hey, that sounds familiar.
