JERUSALEM: After a stint in opposition, Benjamin Netanyahu will return to power in Israel on Thursday, leading what analysts describe as the most right-wing government in the country's history. Senior security and law enforcement officials have already voiced concern over its direction, as have Palestinians. 'It becomes for Netanyahu's partners a dream government,' Yohanan Plesner, president of the Israel Democracy Institute think-tank, told Agence France-Presse.
' On Monday, in a phone call to Netanyahu, armed forces chief Aviv Kochavi expressed his concerns regarding the creation of a second ministerial post in the defense ministry for Smotrich, who will oversee management of civilian affairs in the West Bank. Israel's ally the United States has also spoken out. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that Washington would oppose settlement expansion as well as any bid to annex the West Bank.
