Nearly two months after Israel’s parliamentary elections, the government of victor Benjamin Netanyahu was sworn in in Jerusalem on Thursday. It is the most right-wing government Israel has ever had.
Former longtime Prime Minister Netanyahu is back in power after a year and a half. In Israel’s history, no one has been in office longer than the 73-year-old. It is already the sixth government he forms.
The new government has 64 of the 120 seats in parliament. Half of them belong to Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party, the other half to the far-right Religious-Zionist Alliance and two strictly religious parties. Netanyahu’s camp had won a clear majority in the November 1 parliamentary elections. It was the fifth election in three and a half years.
