Only a small handful of families have met with the Israeli leader since the attacks, infuriating the hundreds of other relatives. Freeing hostages should be at the top of the Israeli war cabinet’s agenda, he said. Winds have been shifting against the prime minister as Israel’s war in Gaza drags past its sixth week. Cracks emergeOpposition parties initially rallied behind Israel’s war effort, with National Unity Party leader Benny Gantz joining the wartime government ­­– but cracks have begun to emerge. Freeing hostages from Hamas was worth it, “whatever the cost,” he said.

JERUSALEM— Benjamin Netanyahu was sworn in for the sixth time as prime minister of Israel on Thursday, having been propelled back to the premiership by a coalition of ultranationalist and religious parties that will wield unprecedented power. Mr. Netanyahu’s coalition aims to expand Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, give lawmakers greater control over the top court and make changes to matters of religion and state. His coalition will include six right-wing parties, five of which are religiously conservative, and will control 64 of 120 seats in the Israeli parliament, or Knesset. The new government is set to be the most right wing in Israel’s history, according to political analysts, and caps a decadeslong rightward shift among the electorate.
Israel’s incoming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the country’s president that he will be able to form a government, bringing him closer to a return to power, though challenges remain. Mr. Netanyahu on Wednesday told President Isaac Herzog that he has enough support from lawmakers to form a governing coalition, a necessary step in Israel’s parliamentary system before he can take over as prime minister. Still, Mr. Netanyahu needs to finish coalition agreements with all his partners, which he has yet to publicly announce, and seal the deal with a confidence vote in parliament.
TEL AVIV—Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu signed a deal on Thursday to give an ultranationalist religious party oversight over the construction of West Bank settlements, a move that brings him closer to forming what could be the country’s most right-wing and religious government in its history. A minister from the Religious Zionism party led by Bezalel Smotrich will be placed within Israel’s Defense Ministry and be responsible for settlements inside the occupied West Bank, according to Mr. Netanyahu’s Likud party. The party said the minister from Religious Zionism in charge of settlements would need to act in coordination and with the approval of Mr. Netanyahu.
TEL AVIV— Benjamin Netanyahu moved closer to victory in Israel’s election, which would mark a major comeback for the country’s longest-serving premier after more than a year out of power. With over 93% of votes counted by Thursday morning, Mr. Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party maintained its lead with 32 seats and his right-wing religious and nationalist bloc was on course to win 65 in the 120-seat parliament, or Knesset, according to Israeli national broadcaster Kan. Prime Minister Yair Lapid ’s Yesh Atid party remained on track to win 24 seats and his bloc of right-wing, left-wing and Arab parties were on course to secure 50.
JERUSALEM—As Israel heads to its fifth election in four years, Benjamin Netanyahu has been relentlessly campaigning across the country from the back of a delivery truck outfitted as a mobile campaign stage, imploring voters to come out on election day. Some call it the Bibi-bus, using Mr. Netanyahu’s famous nickname. “Come and vote,” he told supporters in the central Israeli city of Rehovot this month. “Convince your friends, family and neighbors.”
TEL AVIV—Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a small advantage over his rivals in Israel’s leadership race, the last polls before Tuesday’s election show, but a deadlock in the fifth ballot in three years is also a likely outcome. Following the collapse of the government in the summer, Israelis must decide between a record third stint as premier for Mr. Netanyahu, or returning to the unique, unwieldy coalition of left-wing, centrist, right-wing and Arab parties that defeated him in 2021.
