He survived 4 elections in two years, but it wasn't enough to keep Benjamin Netanyahu in power. Naftali Bennett (pictured above) has replaced Netanyahu and becomes the country's 13th prime minister.
Bennett is the son of parents who immigrated to Israel from the US. He was born in Haifa, the youngest of three sons.
Bennett served in the military and has been the country's minister of defense. He has made millions in Israel's growing hi-tech field.
Bennett was at one time Netanyahu's chief of staff, but the two have since parted ways. Although Bennett is considered a pro settlement nationalist, it's thought that he may be pragmatic enough to restore bipartisan support from the US.

So he is the military and made millions in business. Those two don't mix.
