Far-right lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir's party will rejoin Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, placing further political support behind the leader. This move follows the party's departure from the coalition earlier this year, after a ceasefire was reached in the Gaza Strip in January.

The decision to reenter the coalition comes as Israel escalates military action with a fresh wave of airstrikes in the Gaza region, which stands to reinforce Netanyahu's government strength during these heightened tensions.

Ben-Gvir's return is poised to bolster the ruling coalition and potentially shift the political landscape amidst ongoing conflict and internal political dynamics in Israel.
