Benjamin Netanyahu informed President Isaac Herzog late on Wednesday that he has come to agreements with his coalition partners to form Israel’s 37th government, delivering a promise of right-wing and religious-led political stability seven weeks after the country’s fifth election since 2019 and minutes before the expiration of his mandate to form the next government.

 

In line with Israeli law, Netanyahu was also set to inform Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin, who will announce the development during Monday’s legislative session. After that, Netanyahu will have seven days to swear in his government, although party sources say it is likely to happen before the January 2 deadline.

More of the same.

If that would happen in any other country, then a big part of the world, let by the USA, would boycott them.

But Israel is obviously an exception. They can do whatever they want and especially the USA still supports them with billions.

 

And just in case someone will call me an antisemite, like this always happens on this forum, my post is about the government of Israel and not their religion.

Religion, should ALWAYS be a personal, private matter, and politics of any country should recognise that fact.
