Inside Story

What kind of government will take power in Israel?

Benjamin Netanyahu looks likely to form Israel’s next government following a tight electoral race.

There is no doubting Benjamin Netanyahu is a political survivor.

The Israeli prime minister first took office in 1996, and now in Israel’s 2019 election, he’s once again in position to bring together a ruling coalition.

In Israel, politics is all about partnerships, and the way Netanyahu positioned himself before the vote has meant finding support after it will be far easier for him and his Likud party.
