Israel’s incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to return to power as leader of the most right-wing and religious government in the country’s history
JERUSALEM—Israel’s incoming prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, completed coalition deals on Wednesday, a day before he is set to return to power as leader of the most right-wing and religious government in the country’s history.
The coalition deals, which were submitted to Israel’s parliament, or Knesset, on Wednesday, represent a road map for what Mr. Netanyahu’s government hopes to achieve over its four-year term and include expanding Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and giving lawmakers greater control over the top court and the nation’s police force. The deals aren’t binding and prime ministers have in the past reneged on such agreements.
