New Israeli coalition: who are Bennett and Lapid (in their own words)? | Conflict Zone Files

DW News published this video item, entitled “New Israeli coalition: who are Bennett and Lapid (in their own words)? | Conflict Zone Files” – below is their description.

Israels up-and-coming duo of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid seem to have done the inconceivable — unseat Benjamin Netanyahu from the premiership after 12 years in power. Though Bennett is a right-wing nationalist and Lapid defines himself as a centrist, their views on key issues like Hamas, the status of Jerusalem and Arabs in Israel are actually not too far apart. When it comes to the peace process, things get more complicated. Join us as we dig into the Conflict Zone archive to learn more about the politicians aspiring to lead Israel in the foreseeable future.
