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.

Benjamin Netanyahu, seated in red tie, is pushing a law that would allow his ally Aryeh Deri, standing, to serve in the cabinet. TEL AVIV— Benjamin Netanyahu is shepherding through Israel’s parliament several laws that would codify the unusual agreements he has made with coalition partners in exchange for their support, the final hurdle in his comeback bid as prime minister. One such law would grant Aryeh Deri , an ultra-Orthodox Jewish politician and Netanyahu ally convicted less than a year ago of tax evasion, a workaround to the prohibition on convicts serving in the cabinet. The law would allow people recently convicted of crimes to serve as ministers if they had suspended jail terms and didn’t serve time in prison, like Mr. Deri. Mr. Netanyahu has pegged Mr. Deri for three different ministerial positions: health, interior and alternating finance minister.
