BREAKING: Israel's new government was sworn, with Benjamin Netanyahu returning to the prime minister’s post 18 months after he was ousted.
Smotrich was sworn in as the finance minister and will also serve as a minister in the Defense Ministry with authority over the military units in charge of civilian policy in the occupied West Bank. This will give him unprecedented influence on the policy related to Israeli settlements.
“The Prime Minister will promote a policy of applying sovereignty over Judea and Samaria taking into consideration the timing and Israel’s international interests," the coalition agreements read. Netanyahu appointed his confidant, Yariv Levin, as justice minister. According to the agreements, all coalition members must support every measure put forward by Levin related to the judicial system, Supreme Court and appointment of judges.
The new government is also expected to pass a law that makes studying Torah a value equal to military service, which would allow the government for the first time to pass a law exempting yeshiva students from military service.state
