Just today, he was finally voted out of office by the opposing coalition.

I don't know enough about Israeli government and politics to know if this is good or bad, but Netanyahu was facing several ethics violations and has been seen as a Trump before Trump was even elected.

Netanyahu was probably Prime Minister too long…..and he was a big Trump ally.

I doubt this will do much to help Palestinians or resolve the conflict, but it has to be a step in a better direction.
Good riddance to Netanyahu.

Apparently the new PM is considered far-right, but there is an Arabic-speaking party in the coalition but the Haredim are out of the coalition. Very strange situation.

If Israel would accept a full two-state solution, the Palestinian/Israeli situation would be mostly resolved---except for a few radical nuts on both sides.
