Netanyahu rivals join forces ahead of Israeli election

The Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing the prospect of running against a rightwing-centrist super coalition in elections later this year, after two of his biggest political rivals - Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid - combined forces to form the new party Beyachad (Together) - inviting a third party leader to join them. It's not the first time Bennett and Lapid have worked together, and questions remain about the longevity of their new political merger. Guest: Irris Makler, former Middle East correspondent
