The coalition agreement includes Mansour Abbas of the United Arab Party (Ra’am) Just minutes after the deadline, opposition Israeli politicians notified President Reuven Rivlin they have reached an agreement to form what will be the first government involving someone of Arab descent. Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett s accord would put an end to conservative Benjamin Netanyahu s 12-year tenure. The new coalition arrangement still needs to be approved by Israel s Parliament (Knesset). The coalition agreement includes Mansour Abbas of the United Arab Party (Ra’am). Lapid, who leads the Yesh Atid party, told Rivlin shortly before midnight on Wednesday that he has “succeeded in forming a government” and that his coalition partner Bennett of Yamina “will serve as a prime minister first.” Lapid will take over as PM after two years, under the terms of the agreement.
