Keeping internal differences aside, Israel's new government is focused on annexing the occupied West Bank
Israel finally has a government after three consecutive snap elections and more than a year-long political impasse between the rival factions who were unable to strike a deal and assemble a ruling coalition.
"These areas of the country are birthplaces of the Jewish nation. It's time to apply Israeli law over them," Netanyahu told the Knesset, Israel's parliament. Although Netanyahu deployed a bold rhetoric in the newly-elected parliament, he will have to navigate several fault lines within the ruling coalition.
The coalition partners differ on the extent of judicial authority and the role of ultraorthodox groups in the military.
