Israel could be headed for a break from the “Bibi-regime” as several former allies of longest-serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seem to have joined hands with political opponents to form a national-unity government that would not only have political formations from the Left, the Centre and the Right, but may also be supported by an Arab party.
In a dramatic development, a former ally of Netanyahu announced on Sunday that he intends to form a national-unity government to “stop the craziness” of more elections and continued political deadlock to put “Israel back on track”.
