Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday he is set to become the first Israeli premier to serve a full term since 1988, calling it 'only the beginning,' according to a report. The milestone follows the Knesset's completion of its full term for the first time in 38 years.
The statement comes after the Knesset completed its full term earlier this week, the first time in 38 years, as The Zioneer reported. Netanyahu, who has been in office since 2009, is now poised to become the longest-serving prime minister to also complete a full consecutive term since 1988. In his remarks, Netanyahu characterized the achievement as 'only the beginning,' hinting at further political ambitions. The development underscores the relative stability of the current coalition government, which has passed multiple budgets and hundreds of laws.
