Israel's anti-Netanyahu coalition has to block sabotage attempts by the long-standing PM and hold together its parliament majority before Knesset vote to confirm the new government
Netanyahu says he will continue to exert pressure on former ideological allies who joined the coalition of Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett.
The coalition consists of eight parties from across the political spectrum with the shared goal of toppling Netanyahu after a record-setting 12 years in power. "All members of Knesset who were elected with right-wing votes need to oppose this dangerous leftist government," he wrote on Twitter. As the Lapid-Bennett coalition was coming together in recent days, Netanyahu and his supporters ramped up a pressure campaign against former hawkish allies, including Bennett and his number 2 in the Yamina party, Ayelet Shaked.
