Netanyahu Finalizes Coalition Deal for New Term 
------------------------------------------------


 
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has won an agreement for a new
governing coalition after weeks of negotiations. Netanyahu made a deal
to bring in parties controlling 68 of the Israeli parliament's 120
seats. The agreement excludes former allies in Israel's far-right
religious parties to include more centrist partners, including former
Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. President Obama is due to visit
Israel next week.
