  "account": "Israel's opposition parties are closer to overthrowing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to reports. One of their leaders, Yair Golan, said they have made significant progress in recent days. Golan, a former military commander, now believes he has the mandate to form a government after President Isaac Herzog meets with party leaders on Sunday.\n\nThe opposition bloc could potentially form a coalition with Israeli-Arabs, whose seat count increased following the election due to anger over Netanyahu's far-right government. However, an alliance with Israeli-Arabs faces significant opposition from Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Naftali Bennett, a former prime minister. Bennett has vowed to end the military exemption for ultra-Orthodox Jews, a key demand of the opposition.\n\nUltra-Orthodox Jews, who make up around 14% of the population, have long been exempt from military service, a policy that has fuelled resentment among other Israelis. Netanyahu, while personally secular, has relied on the ultra-Orthodox community and has not yet enshrined the exemption into law, angering the two main ultra-Orthodox parties. However, these parties have not sought to remove Netanyahu from power.",
