Benjamin Netanyahu was sworn in on Thursday for the sixth time as Israel’s prime minister, while his predecessor Yair Lapid flouted the traditional handshake that occurs at the change of power and exited the Knesset plenum early.
In his address to the Knesset on Thursday, Netanyahu outlined three priorities for his government, which is Israel’s most conservative to date.
“A democratic regime is tested first of all by the willingness of the losing side to accept the majority’s decision,” Netanyahu went on. The prime minister was frequently interrupted by catcalls during his speech. Outside, hundreds of left-wing protesters carrying Israeli flags and some carrying LGBTQ rainbow flags were shouting slogans through megaphones.Still, Amir Ohana, an MK from Netanyahu’s own Likud party, was sworn in as Israel’s first ever openly gay Speaker of the Knesset on Thursday.
