Returning to power 10 years after his first stint as prime minister, the 59-year-old Bibi, as he is popularly known, will present his government to parliament in the afternoon, with MPs expected to vote the cabinet in later. Israel's 32nd government promises to be one of its largest ever, with a new table having been ordered to accommodate the some 30 ministers and up to seven deputy ministers. Netanyahu was on Tuesday holding last-minute talks, both trying to entice another ultra-religious party into the cabinet and to diffuse anger within his Likud party over portfolio distributions. The 69-member coalition in the 120-seat Knesset will lean heavily to the right despite the presence of centre-left Labour, and will include Likud, ultra-nationalist Yisrael Beitenu, ultra-Orthodox Shas, and a small settler party. Israel's Peace Now anti-settlement watchdog has called the incoming cabinet "one of the most right-wing governments ever known in Israel." The new foreign minister is set to be firebrand Avigdor Lieberman, a former bouncer and immigrant from the former Soviet republic of Moldova who has been branded a "racist" by critics for his anti-Arab diatribes. With Netanyahu, who opposes the creation of a Palestinian state, at the helm and Lieberman as Israel's top diplomat, the international community has expressed alarm over the future of the already uncertain peace process, relaunched in November 2007 but making little progress since. The European Union last week warned of "consequences" if the new government does not commit itself to the principle of the two-state solution, saying relations would become "very difficult." And US President Barack Obama admitted that peace efforts under a Netanyahu cabinet were not getting any easier but were just as necessary. One of the main issues is Netanyahu's opposition to the creation of a Palestinian state, a principle to which Israel committed itself under the 2003 international so-called roadmap for peace. Netanyahu, who put the brakes on the Oslo peace process during his first term as premier in 1996-1999, says economic conditions should be improved in the occupied West Bank before negotiations take place on other issues. But keen not to antagonise key ally Washington where Obama has vowed to vigorously pursue the hobbled peace talks, the new Israeli leader has said he will continue the negotiations with the Palestinians. Israel wants "total and real peace with a view to reaching reconciliation between the Arab and Jewish peoples," he said on Monday. Outgoing premier Ehud Olmert has urged his successor to seize a "historic' chance for peace, saying there was no alternative to the two-state solution. "As a people, we cannot miss the historic opportunity to realize the vision of two states for two peoples with massive international support. It is possible," Olmert told parliament on Monday. "The conclusion is clear: two states for two peoples. There is no alternative. There can be no outwitting this," Olmert said. "There can be no Jewish state without a solid and secure Jewish majority for generations," he said. "And there is no secure or expected Jewish majority in Greater Israel (an Israeli term for both Israel proper and the occupied West Bank) populated by millions of Palestinians who yearn for their own country, or who would be willing to accept one state for all its residents, Jews and Palestinians." Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Monday urged leaders at the annual Arab summit in Doha to lobby the international community, especially Obama's administration, to pressure Israel into accepting a "fair peace." Despite his hardline rhetoric, Netanyahu signed several deals with the Palestinians under US pressure during his first term as premier, and some analysts in Israel say he would do so again if pressed by Washington.
