JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s embattled prime minister is vowing to continue to lead the country as his shaky government limps into parliament’s new summer session on the verge of collapse. Naftali Bennett has lost his parliamentary majority less than a year after taking office, his own party is crumbling and a key governing partner has suspended cooperation with the coalition. That has set the stage for a possible attempt by the opposition, led by former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to topple the government later this week. And while Bennett appears to be poised to fend off this immediate challenge, his longer-term prospects are uncertain. Bennett late Monday vowed to “sustain an excellent government” for the people of Israel.
