| 0:18.4 | Hi, I'm Jim Denison, a Denison forum, and this is the daily article for Thursday, June 3, |
| 0:22.7 | 2021. The title is, government formed outst Benjamin Netanyahu, an explanation in three ways to pray |
| 0:29.6 | for Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu has been Prime Minister of Israel since 2009. He previously served |
| 0:36.6 | three terms as Prime Minister in the 1990s. Now it appears |
| 0:40.0 | that his time and office may be over. In what's being called a seismic event in Israeli politics, |
| 0:46.6 | Mr. Netanyahu's rivals announced yesterday the creation of a coalition government that would |
| 0:51.8 | replace him. Yair Lepid, who leads the centrist Yesh Atid party, and Naftali Bennett, who leads the right-wing Yamanah party, will team up with six other parties.

| 1:41.2 | to build a governing coalition with other parties. Mr. Nietanahus |
| 1:45.2 | party won the most seats in the recent elections, but he was unable to build such a coalition. |
| 1:49.8 | Mr. Lepid, whose party came in second, was then given this opportunity. Yesterday, he announced |
| 1:56.2 | that he had built such a coalition. However, his coalition is far from stable, as it includes members from |
| 2:02.5 | a wide variety of parties. For the first time, the Islamist Ra'am party chose to join, making it the |
| 2:09.1 | first Arab party to enter an Israeli government. Mr. Netanyahu is warning that this new coalition |
| 2:15.1 | is a dangerous government that will not be able to confront |
