After a record 12 years under Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel entered a new era Sunday, voting in a motley coalition united by animosity towards "Bibi" and installing his one-time protege Naftali Bennett as prime minister.

Bennett will serve as prime minister for two years, after which coalition architect, centrist Yair Lapid, is set to take over. bur-mdo/par
