Benjamin Netanyahu dethroned after record 12-year run, Naftali Bennett becomes new Israel PM

He ended Benjamin Netanyahu's record 12-year run as Israeli PM.
JERUSALEM: Benjamin Netanyahu`s record 12-year run as Israel`s prime minister ended on Sunday with parliament approving a new "government of change" led by nationalist Naftali Bennett, an improbable scenario few Israelis once could have imagined.
But the razor-thin 60-59 vote of confidence in a coalition of left-wing, centrist, right-wing and Arab parties with little in common except a desire to unseat Netanyahu, only underscored its likely fragility.
In Tel Aviv, thousands turned out to welcome the result, after four inconclusive elections in two years.
"I am here celebrating the end of an era in Israel," said Erez Biezuner in Rabin Square. "We want them to succeed and to unite us again," he added, as flag-waving supporters of the new government sang and danced around him.
