Israel's parliament meets to install post-Netanyahu government, receives both cheers and jeers

Netanyahu, the most dominant Israeli politician of his generation, had failed to form a government after a March 23 election, the fourth in two years.

Jerusalem: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu`s 12-year hold on power was set to end on Sunday (June 13) when parliament votes on a new government of improbable allies in a nation bitterly divided over his departure. The schism was evident at a raucous session of the legislature ahead of the vote. Netanyahu loyalists, shouting "shame" and "liar", frequently interrupted the man set to replace him, nationalist Naftali Bennett, as he spelled out the new coalition`s policies.
