Israel MPs Approve Netanyahu-Gantz Unity Government
Israeli lawmakers approved the formation of a unity government between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his erstwhile rival Benny Gantz Thursday, paving the way to an end to more than a year of deadlock.
Parliament backed the coalition deal by 71 votes to 37, a statement said, with the two men expected to swear in the power-sharing government next week.
