Far-right Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir is set to rejoin Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition after previously resigning in protest over a ceasefire deal in Gaza.

Ben-Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party and Netanyahu’s Likud Party announced the move today, just hours after Israel carried out its deadliest air strikes on Gaza since a ceasefire that had lasted more than two months.

“Likud and Otzma Yehudit have agreed that the Otzma Yehudit faction will return to the Israeli government today, and the ministers of Otzma Yehudit will return to the government,” the parties said in a joint statement.

His return strengthens Netanyahu’s coalition, which had been left with a narrow parliamentary majority following his departure.
