On Thursday Benjamin Netanyahu’s new coalition received its official vote of approval in the Knesset ahead of the swearing-in ceremony.

The now six-time Prime Minister’s hard-right alliance garnered 63 votes out of the Israeli parliament’s 120 members.

Speaking to MKs today, Mr Netanyahu vowed to make the country of 9.4 million a ”world power” under his watch while outgoing Prime Minister Yair Lapid said the event marked "an uneasy transfer of the baton."

Here we take a look at the 31 ministers in Israel’s latest coalition, including several newly-created posts.
