Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented his new government to the Israeli Knesset on Thursday and the swearing-in ceremony was set to take place in afternoon.
The last government, first under Naftali Bennett and then by Yair Lapid, lasted only 18 months. During this period, and while standing trial for bribery and fraud, Netanyahu served as opposition head.
