The eight parties forming the incoming Israeli government finalized their agreements on Friday, two days before the expected swearing-in of a new ruling coalition that will unseat Israel’s long-serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Prime Minister-designate Naftali Bennett, whose right-wing Yamina party was the last to sign an agreement with Yair Lapid's centrist Yesh Atid, said on Friday that the signings have brought Israel’s two-and-a-half-year political crisis to an end.
