The right-wing prime minister would stay in office until October 2021 and then hand over the position to centrist Gantz, according to a statement released by the parties. "Due to the state of emergency in the country and on the backdrop of medical, economic and social challenges Israel faces, an agreement was reached tonight" between Netanyahu and Gantz on a"national emergency government," the joint statement says.
Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister who is known for his tactical skills, has dodged another attempt to unseat him. The coronavirus crisis had prompted calls by Netanyahu and others for an emergency government that would end the political fight and leave him in office.
