Benjamin Netanyahu, who is expected to return as Israel’s prime minister, is thought to be close to announcing the formation of Israel’s most right-wing government of all time.

Netanyahu has been locked in weeks of negotiations with ultra-religious and ultra-nationalist parties, in the hope of forming a coalition between them and his Likud party.

Last month he signed a deal to give an Israeli government post to an openly homophobic ultra-nationalist party leader. Avi Maoz, the head of Noam – a religious-nationalist, anti-Arab and anti-LGBTQ party – will be a deputy minister and run a “Jewish identity” authority.

Maoz heads Noam, a religious-nationalist, anti-Arab and anti-LGBTQ party that argues for a strict interpretation of Jewish religious laws in Israel.
