"IDI is a think tank, but it aspires to be a ‘do tank.’ It does not just present solutions, it looks for pragmatic ways to achieve them."

The Current Government
The current government, the 33rd government, was sworn in on March 18, 2013, almost two months after the 19th Knesset elections. At the head of the government stands Benjamin Netanyahu, this being his third term in office. Netanyahu's third government leans upon a coalition made up of four factions: Likud Beytenu, Yesh Atid, Habayit Hayehudi and Hatnua. Together, these four factions grant the coalition a presence of 68 members of Knesset. The government includes 22 ministers.
