Israel's parliament is to vote on a new government on Sunday, which is set to end Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's record 12 years in power and usher in a new administration that has promised to heal a nation that has become bitterly divided over his departure.
Israel's Knesset is to vote on a new government made up of eight coalition parties with an agenda focused on "change". Netanyahu, 71, the most dominant Israeli politician of his generation, had failed to form a government after a March 23 election, the fourth in two years.
The new cabinet, which was cobbled together by the centrist opposition leader Yair Lapid and ultra-nationalist Naftali Bennett, is expected to be sworn in after a Knesset confidence vote.
Bennett will serve as premier for two years before Lapid, a former TV host, takes over.
