Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu and his family will leave the countrys official prime ministers residence no later than July 10, Netanyahu and Israels new prime minister Naftali Bennett said.
Netanyahu was unseated as prime minister earlier this month. Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett succeeded in cobbling together a government in the aftermath of Israels fourth consecutive election in two years.
Netanyahu, who served for 12 years as prime minister until Bennetts government was sworn in last week, has yet to move out of the prime ministers residence in Jerusalem.
In a joint statement late Saturday, Bennett and Netanyahus offices said they had agreed that the Netanyahu family would leave the residence no later than July 10. Thereafter, the statement said, the residence will transfer to the use of Prime Minister Bennett.
Netanyahu has repeatedly vowed to topple the newly formed government, which he has called a dangerous leftist government. It is comprised of eight parties, including several headed by former allies and proteges of Netanyahu, smaller liberal parties and an Islamist faction.
