New Israeli Government Swearing-in Begins Netanyahu's 6th Term as Prime Minister
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has begun his sixth term in office. Israel's 37th government was sworn in Thursday morning in Jerusalem, amid raucous protests from the opposition Knesset members. At the top of the new coalition's platform is a controversial goal to expand the Jewish presence throughout the country, including the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria, known to the world as the West Bank, which is considered "occupied" territory by many nations.
