[quote]Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reached a deal to form a new coalition government.

His Likud-Yisrael Beitenu alliance signed the agreement with the centrist Yesh Atid and the pro-settler Jewish Home, the parties in the coalition say.

During the drawn-out coalition talks, Mr Lapid and Mr Bennett formed a pact and got commitments to a new draft law that will compel more ultra-Orthodox men to perform national military service or other civilian duties.

Sharing the "social burden", as it is known, was a contentious issue in the election.[/quote]

Well yeah, they don't want to actually be the ones who have to go in and shoot children. They might get blood on their lapels.

So now you have the Jewish Home, another far-right party instead.
