Naftali Bennett Sworn In As Israel’s Prime Minister, Ends Netanyahu’s Reign

But when Bennett passed by Netanyahu’s new chair following his swearing-in, Netanyahu declined to take his hand again.

Lapid cancelled his planned speech and merely said the behaviour of MKs in the outgoing government reminded him, his mother and all citizens of Israel why it was so important to replace them.
While Netanyahu spoke, MKs in the coalition being formed were completely silent, making a point of showing him respect. The only MKs who heckled him were from the Joint List, until Meretz leader Nitzan Horowitz mentioned the criminal charges against Netanyahu near the end of the address.

A crisis was avoided earlier when Ra’am MK Saeed Alharomi said he would not oppose the new government, following a threat.
Nothing could interfere with the swearing-in of the new government on Sunday night, Abbas told reporters at the Knesset, adding that “we will all vote in favour of the government.”

In return for his support of the new coalition, Alharomi demanded that a clause in the coalition agreement regarding illegal construction in the Negev be cancelled.

Netanyahu and interior minister Arye Deri pressured Alharomi and offered him assurances, including on the topic of the Kaminitz Law that addresses illegal construction, in an attempt to get him to vote against the government.
