What is going on in Israel?

Israel has filled the news the last couple of days, so this is a special post about what is going on. 

First of all, current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was unable to form a unity government within a month's time. Now, Yair Lapid, a member of the centrist party, Yesh Atid, has been given the mandate to try to form one over the next 28 days. If he is unable to do so, the Knesset will try to do so. If this fails, then Israel will have its 5th election in 2 years in August. 

The headlines that have filled our screens, however, are of unrest in Israel. There's so much going on with this situation that instead of trying to write it out here, I'm sharing a Middle East Update from Behold Israel's Amir Tsarfati. This was streamed live earlier today, May 12, 2021, and has a clear explanation of the situation, gives thorough background/context, and even explores the prophetic significance of what is going on.
