Netanyahu out, Bennett in as Israel marks end of an era

13 Sept 10:09 Key points summarised by AI

Naftali Bennett became Israel's new Prime Minister, ending Benjamin Netanyahu's record 12-year leadership after a razor-thin 60-59 parliamentary vote.
The new "government of change" is a fragile coalition of diverse left-wing, centrist, right-wing, and Arab parties united primarily by the goal of unseating Netanyahu, who vowed a swift return to power.
The new administration plans to prioritize domestic reforms and economic recovery, largely avoiding sweeping international policy moves, but echoes Netanyahu's strong stance against the Iran nuclear deal.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
