The prime minister has given up trying to form a governing coalition.
On 14 January tens of thousands protested in Tel Aviv against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-right government, which critics say threatens Israeli democracy. His government has announced controversial measures like settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank, social reforms that worry members and supporters of the LGBTQ community and a controversial plan to hand more powers to lawmakers in appointing judges and overriding Supreme Court decisions.
Benjamin Netanyahu now heads a government comprised of a hard-line religious ultranationalist party dominated by West Bank settlers, two ultra-Orthodox parties and his nationalist Likud party in Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu was sworn in as Israel's prime minister following a vote in parliament that brought in the most right-wing government in the country's history. IMAGES
Israel's president said the whole world is worried about far-right lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir's positions. This as the once pariah of Israeli politics is now poised to become a minister in Benjamin Netanyahu's new coalition government. The comments from Isaac Herzog were caught on a microphone which he thought was turned off. FRANCE 24's Irris Mackler correspondent in Jerusalem tells us more.
