On Wednesday night Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid informed President Rivlin that he had succeeded in forming a coalition. The formation of the new government would break the political deadlock and represents a significant victory for Lapid, who succeeded bringing together such a broad and varied coalition.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will remain in position until the new government is formally voted in by the Knesset. This briefing lays out the structure of the Change Government, explains some of the key principles that the government will try to adopt and assesses what next for Netanyahu.
