Israel's 37th Government


The results of the 2022 elections pointed to a clear victory to the "Netanyahu Bloc". The four right-wing lists associated with this bloc won a majority of 64 seats and therefore the President of Israel tasked Netanyahu with forming the government. Despite initial statements that the goal was to establish a government "within two weeks", the coalition negotiations dragged on and finally the 37th government was sworn in only on December 29, almost two months after the elections. The government currently includes Bezalel Smotrich as Minister of Finance (in addition to the position of a Minister in the Ministry of Defense), Yisrael Katz as Minister of Defense and Gideon Sa'ar as Minister of Foreign Affairs. As of 20 November 2025, the government includes 24 ministers, including the PM.
