Jerusalem -
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was to present his new centre-right government to parliament on Monday.
The coalition of Netanyahu's nationalist Likud-Beiteinu alliance, the pro-settler Jewish Home, the centrist Yesh Atid - which advocates socio-economic reforms - and another centrist party of former foreign minister Tzipi Livni, has a majority of 68 mandates in the 120-seat Knesset.
The swearing-in session was scheduled to start at 3pm (13.00 GMT).
It came two days before US President Barack Obama's first visit to Israel and the Palestinian areas since taking office.
The Likud-Beiteinu alliance won January 22 general elections, handing Netanyahu another term as premier, but it emerged weakened with a smaller number of seats. - Sapa-dpa
