Benjamin Netanyahu is back in power with the most hardline government in the country’s history.

After two months of political wrangling, Israel’s most right-wing and religiously conservative government in the country’s history has been sworn in.

The coalition is led by Benjamin Netanyahu, who returns as prime minister for a sixth term.

Most of the important ministerial posts have been filled by conservative-leaning or ultra-Orthodox politicians.

Netanyahu says national security will continue to be his top priority.

But what about peace with the Palestinians?
