On Eve of Israel's New Government, Coalition Partners Offer Reassurances
(Reuters) Maayan Lubell - As Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's government was sworn in Thursday, his coalition partners offered reassurances that they would serve all Israelis and not radically shift strategy in the conflict with the Palestinians. Religious Zionist party head Bezalel Smotrich said he would "strengthen every citizen's freedoms and the country's democratic institutions." He said his plan for Jewish communities in the West Bank "doesn't entail changing (their) political or legal status."
