Israeli Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu finalized coalition deals with allied parties, their spokespeople said on Wednesday.

Netanyahu, whose bloc won a clear election victory last month, is expected to swear his new government in on Thursday after his Likud party finalizes two remaining deals.

The coalition deals with Religious Zionism and ultra-Orthodox UTJ have yet to be formally published.
