JERUSALEM — Benjamin Netanyahu and his family left the Israeli prime minister’s official house early Sunday, nearly a month after the longstanding leader was forced to resign when an alternative cabinet was formed.
For most of the previous year, the Balfour home had been a symbol of the Netanyahus’ misdeeds, and it had been the site of weekly rallies against Netanyahu. Demonstrators demanded that the then-prime minister resign despite facing a corruption prosecution. Netanyahu has vehemently rejected any wrongdoing and has refused to resign.
Bennett has yet to set a date for his move into the house.
