JERUSALEM, 14 June, 2021 (TON): After an uninterrupted 12 years of the rule, the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu ousted as Naftali Bennet sworn in as the new Israeli PM.

Bennet of the right-wing Yamina party, took office after the Parliament (Knesset) elected him as 13^th PM of Israel.

Bennet got elected by a 60-59 vote in the 120 member house. However, one lawmaker abstained from voting.

His government has 27 ministers, nine of them women.

Mickey Levy of Yesh Atid party was elected as the speaker of Parliament with the support of 67 lawmakers.

Amid incessant heckling from rival bloc's lawmakers, Bennett said that he is proud "of the ability to sit with people of different opinions".

"At the decisive moment we took responsibility," he said. "The alternative to this government was more elections, more hate, which would have broken up the country."

"It is time for responsible leaders from different parts of the nation to stop this madness, he asserted.

However, during his speech, the agitated Likud, ultra-orthodox and ultra-nationalist lawmakers constantly jeered at Bennett speech calling him a criminal and a liar.
