The new prime minister will face an early test. Jewish nationalists plan to march through East Jerusalem, the Palestinian part of the city, this week
ISRAEL HAS little in the form of ceremonies or protocols for the transition of power—and what little it has was largely forgotten, as the country has not seen a change of power in over 12 years. So minutes after its new government won a confidence vote on June 13th, the outgoing prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, had to be told by one of his colleagues that he needed to vacate the seat at the centre of the government’s bench.
The outgoing prime minister has left behind two big disputes with the administration of Joe Biden in America. The first has to do with that nuclear deal. Prodded by Mr Netanyahu, Donald Trump pulled America out of the pact in 2018. Mr Biden is nowas well as Iran’s return to compliance with the deal’s terms. “Who's going to say no to Biden?” asked Mr Netanyahu.
In the past Mr Bennett has also opposed the creation of a Palestinian state and favoured annexing much of the West Bank.
