Benjamin Netanyahu has returned to the position of Israel's prime minister Thursday as a new governing coalition was sworn in.

Netanyahu is Israel's longest-serving prime minister, having held office from 2009 until 2021 and a stint in the 1990s.

He was ousted from office last year after four deadlocked elections by a coalition of eight parties united in their opposition to his rule while on trial for corruption.
