Netanyahu's coalition approved legislation that would protect the Israeli leader from being deemed unfit to rule

Israel passes law protecting Netanyahu as protests against judicial overhaul continue

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's governing coalition on Thursday passed the first of several laws that make up its contentious judicial overhaul. 

Netanyahu's coalition approved legislation that would protect the Israeli leader from being deemed unfit to rule

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's governing coalition on Thursday passed the first of several laws that make up its contentious judicial overhaul. Protesters opposing the changes staged another day of demonstrations to raise alarm over what they see as Israel's descent toward autocracy.
Thousands protested throughout the country, blocking traffic on main highways and scuffling with police in unrest that shows no sign of abating as the overhaul moves ahead.
Netanyahu's coalition approved legislation that would protect the Israeli leader from being deemed unfit to rule because of his corruption trial and claims of a conflict of interest surrounding his involvement in the legal changes.
Critics say the law is tailor-made for Netanyahu, encourages corruption and deepens a gaping chasm between Israelis over the judicial overhaul.

The strategic port was acquired for $1.2 billion amid Adani's tussle with US short-seller Hindenburg Research over allegations of fraud.

Following the acquisition of the Israeli port of Haifa by the Adani Group on 31 January 2023, Israel's ambassador to India called it a symbol of trust between the two countries.
The strategic port was acquired for $1.2 billion amid Adani's tussle with US short-seller Hindenburg Research over allegations of fraud.
Ambassador Naor Gilon said, "Haifa port is strategic for Israel. We're really depositing it in the hands of an important Indian company like Adani. It's a symbol of trust between our peoples."
"I hope that this investment will be an opening element in a long string of future cooperations," he added.
Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu described the Haifa port deal with the Adani Group as an "enormous milestone", saying it will significantly improve connectivity between the two countries in many ways.
The Port of Haifa is the second largest port in Israel in terms of shipping containers and the biggest in shipping tourist cruise ships.
"I think this is an enormous milestone...Over 100 years ago, and during World World I, it was the brave Indian soldiers who helped liberate the city of Haifa. And today, it's very robust Indian investors who are helping to liberate the port of Haifa," Netanyahu said.

Israel: PM Benjamin Netanyahu accused of trying to weaken Supreme Court as minister unveils proposed law 

Critics reportedly accused Netanyahu of trying to upend Israel's system of checks and balances.

The newly-formed Benjamin Netanyahu government in Israel is facing allegations of trying to weaken the country's Supreme Court.
Netanyahu's justice minister on 4 January 2023 unveiled a proposed law which would allow the Parliament to override Supreme Court verdicts with a simple majority, give politicians a greater role in appointment of top court judges, and let ministers appoint their own legal advisors.
Justice Minister Yariv Levin presented his plan a day before the justices are to debate a controversial new law passed by the government allowing a politician convicted of tax offenses to serve as a Cabinet minister.

Levin argued that the public's faith in the judicial system has plummeted to a historic low, and said he plans to restore power to elected officials that now lies in the hands of overly interventionist judges.

Netanyahu, 73, who is fighting corruption charges in court, had already served as premier longer than anyone in Israeli history, leading the country from 1996-1999 and 2009-2021.

Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu returns as PM for the sixth time

Netanyahu, 73, who is fighting corruption charges in court, had already served as premier longer than anyone in Israeli history, leading the country from 1996-1999 and 2009-2021.

Benjamin Netanyahu was sworn into office on December 29, taking the helm of the most right-wing and religiously conservative government in Israel&rsquo;s history and vowing to enact policies that could cause domestic and regional turmoil and alienate the country&rsquo;s closest allies.
Netanyahu took the oath of office moments after parliament passed a vote of confidence in his new government.
His return marks his sixth term in office, continuing his more than decade-long dominance over Israeli politics.

Netanyahu looking for a comeback as Israel votes for the fifth time in over three years

Voting to elect a 'stable' govt began in Israel for the fifth time in less than four years. Former PM Netanyahu is looking for a comeback in the tightly fought contest where no one is likely to get an absolute majority. Results will be declared on November 2

Election-weary Israelis will go to the polls on Tuesday, the fifth in less than four years, in which former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will try to stage a comeback, amidst indications that the outcome this time too is too close to call.
The prospect of the next government hinges around two factors - the level of right-wing polarisation, not necessarily in favour of veteran politician Netanyahu but for him to lead the coalition, and the extent of voter apathy, surprisingly, in the Arab sector.
Netanyahu, 73, Israel's longest-serving prime minister and among one of the most polarising ones whose leadership plagued by charges of graft has been at the centre of current instability, is looking to make a comeback which would largely depend on both these factors.
Israel has a parliamentary system made up of several parties &ndash; none of which have ever received enough votes on their own to secure a majority of seats in the 120-member parliament. That means parties must team up to form coalitions and reach the 61 seats needed to form a ruling government.
The last four elections in Israel ended in an indecisive mandate, at times alliances falling short by just one vote in the Knesset. The results of Tuesday's vote is expected to be out by Wednesday.
It will be the first time since 2009 when Netanyahu will be running into the polls not as the prime minister.
He hopes that the anti-incumbency factor also boosts his prospects of a return given that the loosely garnered alliance of ideologically divergent political parties, built around opposition to his political leadership, failed to survive for long.
Netanyahu has left no stone unturned to ensure that right-wing votes "do not go waste" as per Israeli election laws where political parties have to cross the 3.25 per cent votes threshold, even personally getting involved in closing 'deals' between warring right-wing factions over seat allotment.
The right-wing seems to have benefitted from these efforts with opinion polls putting it tantalisingly close to a majority, but not clearly, even at the expense of Netanyahu's Likud party dropping in number of seats.
Current Prime Minister Yair Lapid is hoping his centrist Yesh Atid party will come in a strong second place.
Defence Minister Benny Gantz is aiming for a strong showing at the head of a new party called National Unity.
The final polls suggest that Netanyahu&rsquo;s party and its potential allies are hovering right around the knife edge number of 60 seats.
The general trend among voters reflects a tendency to remain loyal to their ideological inclination, which means that a lot of those right-wing voters who do not want to cast their ballot in favour of Netanyahu would still do so for a political party that would back his premiership.
A lot of voters who last time opted for Netanyahu's "friends turned foes" but felt 'cheated' when they opted to join hands with parties in the Centre and Left, and even an Arab party, to form a government, look to be coming back to the right-wing camp whether by backing Likud or parties that would support a government led by Netanyahu.
The resultant change has led to the rise of an unexpected kingmaker, Itamar Ben-Gvir, whom not long ago Israelis would treat as a fringe element not even worthy of being considered a part of the Israeli mainstream.
Known for his inflammatory anti-Arab speeches and stunts, Ben-Gvir is particularly attracting supporters in a previously untapped chunk of young ultra-Orthodox Jews, one of the fastest-growing segments of the country&rsquo;s population.
Polls indicate that his Religious Zionism party could emerge as the third-largest party in the 120-member Knesset (Israeli parliament) and help Netanyahu come back to power.
Israel&rsquo;s 1.3 million ultra-Orthodox Jews make up 13 per cent of the population. The community commonly referred to as the Haredim is growing at a breakneck rate with an average birth rate more than twice the national average.
Children make up half of their population with young adults between 18-35 comprising another quarter, as per local media reports.
The ultra-Orthodox have largely voted for two Haredi political parties &mdash; United Torah Judaism and Shas over the past several decades.
The campaigns of both these parties have demonstrated a huge concern due to the rise of support for Ben-Gvir among its voting constituents.
Ben-Gvir first entered parliament in 2021, after his Jewish Power party merged with the Religious Zionism party. While the Israel-Palestinian conflict may have disappeared from Israeli election discourse, almost 20 per cent of the country's Arab population still have a major role to play in deciding the fate of Tuesday's election.
A 'Joint List' of Arab parties in 2015 secured a record-breaking 15 seats in Parliament and a matching performance could have proved problematic for Netanyahu, but the Arab population is a divided and disillusioned lot this time out.
It is noteworthy that there are about 90,000 Jews of Indian origin in Israel but their representation in politics has been at best insignificant, and nil in the parliament in the last few decades.&nbsp;

PM Modi congratulates Benjamin Netanyahu for winning Israel elections

"I hope to continue our fruitful exchange of ideas for the mutual benefit of our peoples," Modi said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday congratulated Benjamin Netanyahu for his success in the Israeli general elections and said he looks forward to continuing their joint efforts to deepen the India-Israel strategic partnership.
Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid Thursday conceded defeat in the general elections and congratulated opposition leader Netanyahu, whose coalition of right-wing parties secured a comfortable majority in parliament to form the next government and end the political impasse plaguing the country.
"Mazel Tov my friend @netanyahu for your electoral success. I look forward to continuing our joint efforts to deepen the India-Israel strategic partnership," Prime Minister Modi said in a tweet.
Modi also thanked Lapid for giving priority to the India-Israel strategic partnership.

Modi also put out tweets in Hebrew with the same message.
With 99 per cent of the ballots counted, the Netanyahu-led right-wing bloc has taken a comfortable lead with 64 seats in the 120-member Knesset, paving the way for his triumphant return to power.

Despite his trial on corruption charges, which he denies, Bibi, as he is known, has the loyal support of his party's grassroots that propelled his return to power.

Exit polls predict narrow win for former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu

On Tuesday, Israelis voted for an unprecedented fifth time in four years to break the political impasse that has paralysed the country.

Exit polls by all the leading Israeli TV channels on Wednesday following the fifth general elections in the country in less than four years predicted a comeback for former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu led right-wing bloc.
&nbsp;
The exit polls were broadcast soon after polling booths closed at 10 PM local time on Tuesday. However, official results are not expected until late Wednesday. The process of forming the government could drag on for weeks.
According to the Central Elections Committee, voter turnout was 71.3 per cent in the election, the highest since 2015.
The exit polls saw pro-Netanyahu bloc winning 61-62 seats in the 120-member Knesset (Israeli parliament), just about making the magical figure that would see him making a comeback after losing power following March 2019 polls.
Prime Minister Yair Lapid led bloc was put at 54-55 seats as per the exit polls. Public broadcaster Kan and Channel 12 gave the Netanyahu-led bloc 62 seats, while Channel 12 put it at 61.
Reacting to the exit polls, Netanyahu said, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a good start, that&rsquo;s all I can say right now.&rdquo; However, he added cautiously, &ldquo;It depends on the real count.&rdquo; Israel has been locked in an unprecedented period of political stalemate since 2019, when 73-year-old Netanyahu, the country's longest-serving leader was charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust.

Israel could be headed towards its fifth parliamentary elections in less than three-and-a-half years with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and his ally Alternate Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid announcing on Monday to introduce a bill to dissolve the Knesset (parliament) next week.
Bennett and Lapid, in a joint statement, said that they had "exhausted options to stabilise" their coalition which has recently come under severe strain over unruly members threatening to dump it.
The move, if passed, will trigger snap polls - Israel's fifth in just about three years.
Lapid will assume the role of interim Prime Minister until the elections as per the power-sharing arrangement of the governing coalition.
The crisis-ridden government, an amalgamation of ideologically disparate political formations drawn from the left, centre, right and even an Arab party (for the first time in Israel's history), finally looked tottering under the pressure of disperse beliefs.
Local media reported that Bennett is considering retiring from politics altogether as per sources close to him.
Ha'aretz online quoted sources at the Prime Minister’s Office as saying that Bennett held a discussion with Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Friday, where he understood that there would be no way to pass the expiring emergency regulations extending Israeli civil law to the West Bank – after they failed to pass it earlier this month.
Bennett, whose government had been reduced to a minority in the 120 member Knesset, faced constant threats and ultimatums from lawmakers, mostly from his own Yamina party.
Earlier on Sunday, former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu-led Likud party submitted a bill to dissolve the Knesset, which was set to be put to a preliminary vote on Wednesday.

The move came barely half an hour before the Wednesday midnight deadline to form a government was to expire. Naftali Bennett, the leader of the small hardline Yamina party, will serve as the prime minister first, he said.
If the coalition passes the floor test, it will save Israelis their fifth election in just two years. It will also mark the end of Benjamin Netanyahu, who holds the record for being the longest-serving Israeli prime minister.
The proposed coalition is unique in the sense that it comprises not only political formations from the Left, Centre and Right but also an Arab nationalist party, a historic development not seen since the establishment of the Jewish state.

The Associated Press said Israel had not yet provided it with evidence of terrorist activity in the building, which was reduced to rubble by the strike.

The UAE was represented by Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed and Bahrain by Foreign Minister Abdullatif Al Zayani. The Arab Accord -- essentially bilateral agreements with Israel -- does not mention the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"Thanks to the great courage of the leaders of these three countries we take a major stride towards a future in which people of all faiths and backgrounds live together in peace and prosperity," Trump said.
The president pointed out that these were the only two peace deals between Israel and the Arab States in more than a quarter of a century. Egypt was the first Arab State to sign a peace deal with Israel in 1979. Jordon signed a peace pact in 1994.
"Now we have achieved two in a single month and there are more to follow," Trump said.
As per the agreements, the UAE and Bahrain will establish embassies, exchange ambassadors, cooperate and work together with Israel across a range of sectors, including tourism, trade, healthcare and security. "They are friends. The Abraham Accords also open the door for Muslims around the world to visit the historic sites in Israel and to peacefully pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, the third holiest site in Islam," Trump said, amidst applause and cheer from more than 200 invited guests.
Together these agreements will serve as the foundation for comprehensive peace across the entire region, Trump said.
Netanyahu described the accord as a "pivot of history", heralding a new dawn. "For thousands of years the Jewish people have prayed for peace. For decades, the Jewish state has prayed for peace and this is why today we are filled with such profound gratitude," he said.
"You have heard from the president that he has already lined up more and more countries. This was unimaginable a few years ago. But with resolve, determination, a fresh look at the way peace is done, this is being achieved," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu said Israel is eager to invest in a future of prosperity, and peace.
"We've already begun to cooperate on combating coronavirus and I am sure that together we can find solutions to many of the problems that afflict our region and beyond," he said.
Foreign Minister Zayed said the UAE is witnessing a change in the Middle-East, one that gives hope around the world.

In an unprecedented move last week, India voted in support of Israel at the UN to deny observer status to a Palestinian human rights organisation named ‘Shahed’. This is the first time India has taken a step back from its decades-old position on the two-state theory under which New Delhi sees both Israel and Palestine as separate and independent countries. There was no immediate word from the Indian government on the matter, but deputy chief of mission at the Israeli embassy on Tuesday tweeted to thank India for "standing with Israel"
