Israelis battled the coronavirus and defeated political deadlock this spring, reelecting Benjamin Netanyahu to lead the nation.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition partner Benny Gantz will be sworn in on Wednesday, after receiving support from 72 members of the Israeli parliament.

Democracy is alive and well in Israel and the people have spoken!
