Palestine Israel

[Helen Wiggy]

interesting developments in Israel today, Bibi might be on the way out

It will be interesting in a number of ways. He is the longest serving Israeli president and embodies modern Israel for a lot of Israelis. However, if he and Likud are ousted from power, I wouldn't expect to see any radical changes in the country.

Lapid's party Yesh Atid is more centrist than Likud but they will have to work in coalition with Naftali Bennett and some other right-wing pro-annexation nationalists with unlikely chances of bringing greater calm to the region. People have been too optimistic too many times.

Just a small point of order Mr Chairman. He is not the President, he's the Prime Minister

I'm sorry, yes, I do know that. Slip of the finger.
