The narrow vote by the 120-member Knesset, or par- liament, ushered in a ruling coalition that was cobbled to- gether from wildly disparate political parties with little in common beyond a shared de- sire to expel Netanyahu from the office he had held for the last 12 years. Bennett, the new prime min- ister, heads a small party de- termined to thwart Palestinian statehood and maintain Israeli control over most of the occu- pied West Bank. But his gov- ernment includes parties from Israel’s left and center, and also marks a historic first: participa- tion in the ruling coalition by an Islamist party representing Palestinian citizens of Israel. Because of fundamental dis- agreements over the potential creation of a Palestinian state alongside the Israeli one, the government is likely to try in- stead to concentrate on domes- tic issues, including passing a national budget and embarking on an economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Bennett is taking the top spot as part of an unusual agreement with the head of the coalition, centrist politi- cian Yair Lapid, who would normally have assumed the country’s leadership. In order to woo Bennett into his camp, Lapid offered to split the four- year term as prime minister in half, with Bennett going first. Lapid will serve now as the for- eign minister. Netanyahu, who is on trial Ariel Schalit/AP photos Israeli protesters dance and cheer during a demonstration against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outside his official residence in Jerusalem on Saturday night. Israel swore in a new government Sunday, end- ing Netanyahu’s record 12-year rule. Naftali Bennett, shown speaking Sunday in a session of parliament, is an Orthodox Jew who has been called Israel’s first religious prime minister. for corruption, first became prime minister for three years in the 1990s and had held the top office again since 2009. That has made him the lon- gest-serving Israeli leader, sur- passing the longevity even of the country’s first prime min- ister and primary founder, Da- vid Ben Gurion. In recent years, many Israe- lis had become alarmed by an accelerating slide into autoc- racy by Netanyahu, who has denounced criminal court pro- ceedings against him as a witch Plenty of sunshine Yesterday City Hi/Lo/Prec.

High Low WEDNESDAY hunt and has tirelessly sought to undermine the legitimacy of judges, prosecutors and inves- tigators. Had he remained in office, Netanyahu had signaled he would use the prime minister’s post as a platform to continue attacking the judiciary and probably would have tried to engineer some form of immu- nity from the fraud and brib- ery charges he is facing. Rivals also feared he would intensify his wielding of state powers in ways that would make it diffi- cult for anyone to challenge his actions in office or hold him accountable. Along with his detractors, however, Netanyahu has main- tained a devoted following whose fervor at times has bor- dered on obsession. Over the last two weeks, as it became ap- parent his grip on power was in serious jeopardy, his allies mounted a campaign of furious incitement against the new co- alition, characterizing Bennett, who once served as his chief of staff, and other right-wing stal- warts as traitors to the prime minister’s ideological cause. So heated did the discourse become that the head of Isra- el’s domestic security agency, the Shin Bet, issued an unusual warning about the dangers of hate speech, and some main- stream commentators ex- pressed fears of an uprising on the order of the Jan. 6 insurrec- tion at the U.S. Capitol. Netanyahu did little to calm the rhetorical storm, but his Li- kud Party did promise a peace- ful transfer of power. Hours before the vote ap- proving the new government, Netanyahu used his last speech to the Knesset as prime minis- ter to unleash a bitter tirade at not only the rivals who ousted him, but at the Biden admin- istration. “An Israeli prime minister needs to be able to say ‘no’ to the leader of the world’s super- power,” he declared from the well of the Knesset, referring to his own vehement opposi- tion to U.S. efforts to revive the landmark nuclear accord with Iran that was scrapped by Pres- ident Donald Trump. Netanyahu, now the leader of the opposition in the Knes- set, is expected to remain a for- midable political force. 73/48/0.00 84/63/0.05 61/51/0.10 104/78/0.00 90/80/0.20 92/73/0.10 82/73/0.00 68/52/0.00 64/53/0.13 74/59/0.00 66/55/0.00 86/72/0.00 93/72/0.00 82/43/0.00 90/81/0.56 73/55/0.00 75/57/0.04 81/59/0.00 69/44/0.00 90/81/0.24 75/64/0.00 84/67/0.00 66/44/0.00 68/64/0.00 81/63/0.00 81/59/0.00 93/66/0.02 91/79/0.07 72/57/pc 75/64/t 64/54/sh 111/81/pc 91/80/t 84/66/pc 80/71/pc 75/55/pc 66/50/t 80/57/pc 56/44/s 88/75/pc 90/68/s 74/50/pc 85/77/t 69/53/pc 62/55/pc 85/61/t 74/45/s 91/84/t 69/61/sh 76/66/s 66/46/pc 68/64/pc 84/62/pc 77/58/pc 96/66/pc 92/82/t Kinkel Continued from A1 He killed his parents the next day, and the day after that he opened fire in the school cafeteria, killing 16-year-old Ben Walker and 17-year-old Mikael Nickolauson and in- juring 25 before being sub- dued by other students. He pleaded guilty — at the time, he did not want to accept his diagnosis and felt community pressure to re- solve the case rather than plead not guilty by reason of insanity. He was sentenced to nearly 112 years after apolo- gizing profusely. “I feel tremendous, tre- mendous shame and guilt for what I did,” he told HuffPost. “I hate the violence that I’m guilty of.” Kinkel shot Betina Lynn in the back and foot. She told HuffPost the idea of him ever getting out is “literally terrify- ing.” She has perma- nent nerve damage, a constant reminder of what happened. “Even now, more than 23 years later, I and many other sur- vivors are still deal- ing with the fallout,” Kinkel Lynn said. “We are all serving life sentences right alongside him.” Kinkel described how he underwent mental health treatment at the youth prison where he began his sentence and recognized he harmed innocent people, including his parents, whom he loved. He also said he cried when he learned about the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado, afraid that he had inspired it. Fighting the sentence Kinkel, who has obtained a college degree behind bars, continues to challenge his sentence, which was upheld by the state Supreme Court. In March, his attorneys filed a petition in federal court, arguing that his plea was not voluntary — he had been off his meds for several weeks be- forehand — and that his sen- tence was unconstitutional. “Sentencing a juvenile to die in prison because they Mecca Mexico City Montreal Moscow Nairobi Nassau New Delhi Osaka Oslo Ottawa Paris Rio de Janeiro Rome Santiago Sao Paulo Sapporo Seoul Shanghai Singapore Stockholm Sydney Taipei City Tel Aviv Tokyo Toronto Vancouver Vienna Warsaw 107/81/s 66/56/t 72/51/r 80/61/pc 76/54/pc 87/79/t 97/78/t 84/71/pc 67/44/pc 75/47/s 86/65/pc 75/65/s 80/61/s 63/44/c 72/56/pc 72/58/sh 80/68/sh 86/77/t 88/77/sh 68/48/pc 65/47/s 99/82/c 81/76/s 81/70/pc 74/51/s 65/52/c 79/57/pc 77/55/pc “Even now, more than 23 years later, I and many other survivors are still dealing with the fallout.

In 2019, as part of a na- tional effort to re-evaluate tough-on-crime sentences for juveniles, the Oregon Leg- islature passed a measure to stop automatically referring 15- to 17-year-olds to adult court for certain offenses and to ensure that they weren’t sentenced to life in prison without a chance to seek pa- role. At the time, there were about a dozen peo- ple serving life or life-equivalent terms for crimes commit- ted as juveniles. But critics warned that the measure could lead to Kin- kel’s release, and a month later, law- makers passed another bill to make clear that the measure was not retroactive. “It doesn’t matter if he was 15,” Adam Walker, the brother of Kinkel’s victim Ben Walker, said in a video released at the time. “The victims don’t get second chances. Why should the of- fenders?” Kinkel said he watched the debate in the prison library. “It was like, there was hope,” Kinkel said. “And then the Legislature ... came back and said, ‘No, we are specifi- cally, intentionally, purposely with everything that we have, going to take this away from the kids already in the sys- tem.’” He said he doesn’t often consider the possibility of ever being released: “I don’t allow myself to spend too much time thinking about that because I think that can actually bring more suffer- ing.”
