Israel’s Netanyahu could lose PM job as rivals join forces

Israeli far-right politician Naftali Bennett says he will join a governing coalition that could end the rule of the country’s longest-serving leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Bennett's Yamina party has six crucial seats in parliament which makes him a kingmaker.
Political rivals Bennett and Yair Lapid, a centrist, are discussing the unity government's formation before a deadline on Wednesday.
Israel has had four inconclusive elections over the past two years and Netanyahu who faces corruption charges, said Bennett's decision would jeopardise Israel's security.

Al Jazeera's James Bays reports from West Jerusalem, Israel.

Even “moderates” like the Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid, declared that he wants to be “rid of Arabs” and that his most important priority is “to maintain a Jewish majority in the land of Israel.”

Politicians call for Palestinan Israeli citizenship to be revoked, or worse — like the former foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman, who said Palestinan heads should be chopped off, or the former education minister Naftali Bennett, who declared that he had killed many Palestinians and had no problem with it.

The US determines the future of Israel. A conflict with China ensures excellent business for arms sales and build-up in the Pacific and less requirement in the Middle East.
