Fears for democracy as Israel elects Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister again

Fears for democracy as Israel elects Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister once again alongside his far-right alliance.

It seems Benjamin Netanyahu is returning to office, after current Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid called to congratulate him on winning the nation’s elections.

With nearly all of the votes now counted, Netanyahu will form the most conservative government in Israel’s history.

Latest projections suggest Netanyahu and his allied parties will take 64 seats in the 120-seat legislature, enough for a majority.

Lapid is expected to win 51.

Results will be officially certified on November 9, at which point Israel’s president will begin consultations with politicians on forming a new government.

Netanyahu’s new government will likely mark a shift in society for the country.

It will almost certainly include the new Jewish nationalist and Jewish Power alliance.

The alliance’s leaders include an individual once convicted for inciting racism and supporting terrorism.
