Israeli nationalist hardliner Naftali Bennett said Sunday he would join a governing coalition that could end the rule of the country's longest-serving leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"I will do everything to form a national unity government with my friend Yair Lapid," Bennett said after meeting with his own party, Yamina.
Centrist Lapid has been tasked with forming a new cabinet by Wednesday 11:59 pm local time (2059 GMT).
