With 36 ministers and 16 deputy ministers, Netanyahu presents Israel's biggest government ever

More than a year after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for an election - and three unprecedented ballots later - Israel finally swore in a new government Sunday.
Former rival turned partner Benny Gantz agreed to a power-sharing unity deal under the guise of an emergency government amid Israel’s coronavirus outbreak, adding to Netanyahu’s tenure as the country’s longest serving prime minister.
Despite petitions against the agreement, seeking to bar lawmakers with criminal changes from forming a government, the High Court greenlighted the deal, allowing Netanyahu to remain in office even as he faces trial for bribery, breach of trust and fraud.
As Israel’s deadlock comes to an end, can its deeply divided society heal from the years’ political wounds all the while grappling with the coronavirus pandemic?
