> Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed that an extremist anti-Arab party will join his new coalition as he prepares to return as prime minister for what would be the most rightwing government in Israel's history.
> The agreement, which further heightens the powers of Itamar Ben-Gvir, the firebrand head of the Jewish Power party and incoming national security minister, came hours after Netanyahu informed the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, that he had succeeded in forming a government.
> The outgoing finance minister, Avigdor Lieberman, termed the coalition a "Government of darkness" that could lead Israel to being a state of halacha, or strict Jewish law.
