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.

Israel's hawkish veteran Benjamin Netanyahu is sworn in as prime minister and outlines the top priorites of what analysts are calling the most right-wing government in the country's history. Netanyahu, who casts himself as the guarantor of his country's security, stressed that his top goal would be "to thwart Iran's efforts to develop a nuclear weapons arsenal" and "ensure Israel's military superiority in the region". But he also voiced hopes of "expanding the circle of peace with Arab countries" following US-brokered normalisation agreements with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco.
