Letter

 Lette  Published in The National UAE on 17 June. 21Good luck to the new administration in Israel

With regard to Joyce Karam's report With Netanyahu gone, Biden breathes sigh of relief but differences with Israel remain (June 14): after 12 years of being prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has had to make way for his successor. The determination with which opposition parties came together to form a majority in Israel was quite dramatic.

It will be interesting to watch whether Naftali Bennett's new administration will have a good rapport with the US. Mr Netanyahu had a long run of luck, but whether the law catches up with him and whether he will now have to reckon with corruption charges remains to be seen. It appears that in politics corruption is the one thing cannot be eradicated. Good luck to Mr Bennett. Let's hope Israel's new administration furthers peace in the Middle East.
