Israel s opposition leader moved closer to unseating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he officially told the country s president that he has reached agreements with political allies to form a new government.
About 35 minutes before a Wednesday midnight deadline, the centrist Yair Lapid told President Reuven Rivlin in an email: I am honored to inform you that I have succeeded in forming a government.
