He was first elected in 1996, at age 46 the youngest person to ever serve as prime minister, after having served from 1984-1988 as Israel\u2019s Ambassador to the United Nations. From 1996-1999 he served as Prime Minister, and then he served as Finance Minister between 2003-2005. He was focused on the goal of turning the Jewish state towards capitalism, which he did by significantly reducing tax rates. His tenure saw the ratio of debt to GDP drop to one among the lowest in the world and foreign investment reach record levels. Netanyahu served his longest term in office as prime minister, serving 12 years. This was an unheard of length.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new government is determined to restore governance, peace, and personal security to the citizens of Israel,\u201d Netanyahu spoke on Thursday, when he was sworn into office. Critics in Israel and elsewhere who had attacked his coalition&#8217;s inclusion of staunch nationalists like Itamar Bezalal Ben-Gvir and Bezalal Shmotrich, he said: \u201cI hear the opposition\u2019s constant laments about \u2018the end of the state\u2019 and even \u2018the end of democracy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said it bluntly. \u201cMembers of the opposition, losing the elections is not the end of democracy \u2014 it is the essence of democracy. A democratic regime is tested first of all by the willingness of the losing side to accept the majority\u2019s decision. In an orderly democracy, the rules of the game are respected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw it just now in a different context, in the World Cup final, when French fans were disappointed like you, but they accepted the result. They even applauded the Argentina team. I know you won\u2019t applaud, but I do expect you to respect the voters\u2019\u00a0decision and cease rebelling against the elected government,\u201d He pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu recited the traditional blessing Jews give to God to acknowledge their achievement of a particular milestone. \u201cBlessed are You, O Lord, our God, King of the world, that we have lived and survived and reached this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration indicated in September that it would not tolerate any rightward turn from Israel in the event of Netanyahu returning to power. It also identified one potential ally for the ex-prime minister as \u201ca huge problem for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Officials from the Biden Administration stated that the White House would become \u201ctroubled by the possibility\u201d According to some reports, Itamar Begvir, a Knesset Member who is a hardline conservative and head of Otzma Yehudit&#8217;s Right-wing party, could become a minister in an Israeli government. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.israelhayom.com\/2022\/09\/29\/us-concerned-with-far-right-mk-becoming-minister-in-future-government\/\">Israel HaYom<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be a huge problem for us,\u201d The official stated. \u201cThis is not someone we want to see as part of the government. Netanyahu is very smart and experienced and understands the consequences of such a development. This has not been discussed with him yet, because \u2013 as mentioned \u2013 we are at an early stage. But there is no doubt that he understands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others appeared to bristle at the suggestion the Jewish state\u2019s sovereign control over elections and politics could be subject to outside influence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal is to work for the benefit of a Jewish, democratic, nationalist and Zionist country,\u201d said Brigadier General Tzvika Fogel, who is secular but had joined Gvir\u2019s party. \u201cI want to see sovereignty imposed, governance strengthened, and settlements expanded. We have to strengthen our hold on the land against the view of the left-wing parties who don\u2019t see the Land of Israel as of primary importance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power as he was sworn in as prime minister of Israel.
