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

Not correct again. I should have linked the 2015 results. This was the last stable Israeli government:

In 2015, Nethanyahu was able to form a majority just from right wing parties. That's no longer possible.
The settler/religious parties are gaining seats, but that's a very slow process that changes with demographics.
The overall trend is a strong shift towards centrist politics, with Yesh Atid gaining significant ground. The centrists have now gained enough power that they are looking to form a government with the left. Yesh Atid had formerly backed Netanyahu. Them shifting to the left is what's driving the political deadlock in Israel.
Even the right has seen a split, with the modern right wing "new right" (AKA Yamina) gaining ground after splitting from religious parties.
