To regain power, Benjamin Netanyahu, the longest-serving Israeli prime minister, will most likely need the support of Itamar Ben-Gvir, a far-right leader with a history of extreme views.
If ratified by both governments, the agreement is expected to avert the immediate threat of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, and could eventually help salve energy shortages.
The conflict may have dealt a severe blow to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Gaza militant group, and strengthened the hand of Israel’s interim prime minister, Yair Lapid.
The truce appeared to end a three-day conflict in Gaza that barely changed the status quo in Israel and the occupied territories, but revealed splits among rival Palestinian militias.
The decision brought down the coalition government and installed Yair Lapid, a centrist, as interim prime minister. Exhausted and exasperated voters now face a fifth election since April 2019.
