Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's opponents announced on Wednesday they have reached a deal to form a new governing coalition, paving the way for the ouster of the country's longtime leader. The historic deal also includes the United Arab List, which would make it the first Arab party ever to be part of a governing coalition in Israel. Under the coalition agreement, Lapid, right, will split the job of prime minister with Yamina party Leader Naftali Bennett, left, in a rotation. Supporters of Israeli 'change coalition' rally in the coastal city of Tel Aviv late Wednesday. During the recent election campaign, Bennett had publicly vowed never to share power with Lapid or an Arab party.
