Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government is being sworn in on Sunday, capping more than a year of political deadlock in Israel, with three back-to-back election cycles.
Netanyahu has succeeded in forming a government, which would have 36 ministers and 16 deputy ministers, making it the biggest in Israel's history. Netanyahu's trial for suspected bribery, fraud and breach of trust will commence in seven days, on May 24.
After 18 months, the government will enter its second term, and the prime ministers will rotate. After Benny Gantz becomes premier, some of the ministers will switch jobs as well.
