Netanyahu forms coalition without ultra orthodox parties
Israel's new government will not include ultra orthodox religious parties under Prime Minister Netanyahu's coalition deal with Yesh Atid and Jewish Home. The cabinet will have 20 posts, with Lapid as finance minister and Bennett in charge of trade and industry, plus Tzipi Livni as justice minister. The move signals shifts away from the old political elite as Obama plans a Jerusalem visit.
