Israel's narrow far-right coalition government has been looking to expand for awhile, with talk of including the center-left Zionist Union to take charge of the stalled peace talks. That possibility appears to be remote, at this point, and instead the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party is said to be coming in.

Jewish Home, which hadn't been keen on the inclusion of Zionist Union, cheered the inclusion of Yisrael Beiteinu, and reports of that party's leader, ultra-hawk Avigdor Lieberman taking over the defense ministry, as proof Israel will soon have "the most right-wing government ever."

At present, the government includes Likud, Kulanu, Jewish Home, and the religious parties. Lieberman was excluded back during the coalition talks both because of his poor showing in the election and his hostility toward the religious parties. It's unclear how he will co-exist with them now.
