Other parties in the coalition won't rock the boat as this is the closest to power they will likely ever get in the near future.
This is not factual. The coalition includes the Arab, Ra'am party. Bennett has already agreed to step back on any contentious issues. If Bennett doesn't do this, then Ra'am can simply withdraw from the coalition and collapse the government. In the event that Israel did push any major anti-Palestinian policies forward, not withdrawing from the government would be political suicide for all of the Ra'am members.

The current Israeli government is in power by 1 seat. Ra'am has 4 seats. In addition to Ra'am, other parties like the Green party, who's members similarly rely on their credibility.

There's two possibilities here:

1. Bennett tones it down for the two years he holds power.
2. The government collapses.
