• Netanyahu responded: "We will bring more historic peace agreements, that is within reach"
• Netanyahu's re-election at the head, what the NYT's described as, "one of the most right-wing coalitions Israel has ever known" has led to fears that some of the diplomatic achievements of the part five years, including the signing of the Abraham Accords and Israel's increasing regional integration may be under threat.
• Benjamin Netanyahu met far-right Ben Gvir today for the firrst time for informal coalition talks.
• Ben Gvir said in a statement after the meeting that it was "...held in a good atmosphere. We are on our way to establishing a full, full right-wing government, that will look people in the eye, some of whom are afraid to walk around the Negev and Galilee, return their security, and return their governance. We have a lot of work.”
