Israel's former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been asked to form a new government, paving the way for his return to power after one-and-a-half years.
Israel's President Isaac Herzog gave Netanyahu the official mandate on Sunday.
Netanyahu's right-wing Likud Party and far-right and religious parties secured a majority in parliament in the fifth national election in three-and-a-half years on November 1.
They have already started talks on forming a coalition government.
Netanyahu said during a news conference that he will be the prime minister for everyone -- for those who voted for him and those who did not.
It would be the third time for Netanyahu to serve as Israel's prime minister. He previously took office in 1996 and in 2009.
Observers say his coalition could be Israel's most hardline government ever. His coalition partners include a party calling for the expulsion of Palestinians.
