This is actually what's caused the deadlock in Isreali politics. Netanyahu has lost ground to the Yesh Atid centrist party, which prevents him from forming a clear majority. Labour also gained 5 seats.
Yes, it is. The overall percentage share of votes to right-wing parties increased between 2019 and 2021, and some formerly centrist parties have adopted more anti-Palestinian/two state stances.

Lapid is likely going to fail in his attempts to form a coalition, and Bennett is no better than Netanyahu.
